An Indian PhD graduate who was studying at a university in South Dakota, whom the Trump administration has been attempting to deport, was granted an injunction by a federal judge, allowing her to stay in the country after having received her degree.

Priya Saxena's student visa was terminated by the Trump administration in April, which would have prevented her from completing her doctoral program and graduating on 10 May.
