This story has been updated to say that The School of Mines is not prohibiting Saxena from graduating next month.

A graduate student from India who is set to graduate from the South Dakota School of Mines is asking a federal judge for a temporary restraining order after she was notified that her student visa was being suspended.

Priya Saxena filed a motion against U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after she was told this month that her F-1 student visa had been revoked. That happened April 7 when she was notified by the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi that the revocation was based on previously unavailable information that was found after her visa had been granted.

It further notified Saxena that her status had been reported to the Department of Homeland Security for removal proceedings.
