A federal judge on Friday ruled the Trump administration must reinstate the legal status of an Ohio State University graduate student who was arrested at a 2024 anti-Israel protest.
Ahwar Sultan, of India, filed a civil lawsuit in D.C. District Court on April 15, alleging his F-1 student visa was “abruptly and unlawfully terminated” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after his participation in protests against Israel’s military action in Gaza, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
While Sultan was arrested at an April 25, 2024, protest on campus, his attorneys allege his charges were dismissed and subsequently expunged from his record.

The decision comes days after a federal judge and Biden appointee in Georgia ordered the administration to reinstate the legal statuses of 133 international students whose F-1 visas were revoked by ICE and DHS.
OSU did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
