Jean Kashikov v. Kristi Noem

Anchorage, Alaska criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with



Appeal of a Deportation Order



This case was one of numerous lawsuits challenging the Trump administration's abrupt termination of immigration visas—mostly student or work visas—with no notice to the visa-holders and with dubious or no legal basis. You can see all of the cases here.



On April 23, 2025, an international student—attending school on an F-1 visa--filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Alaska against the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In early April, the Defendants abruptly terminated the Plaintiff's, and other international students', F-1 visa and records with the Student and Exchange Visitor Information (SEVIS), effectively stripping them of their ability to remain a student in the United States. The Plaintiff alleged that Defendants' actions were unlawful and designed to coerce them and other international students into abandoning their studies and self-deporting. The Plaintiff alleged that Defendants' actions violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.
