I’ve been reading up a bit on this, and it’s not a reversal at all. From what I can tell, revoking all these Visas all at once was so chaotic and disruptive that anyone who had the means to sued over it, and since all the courts are backing the students the administration is saying they will now put it all back.
But the Administration is not saying that they did anything wrong. in fact, they reserve the right to do this again in the future. They just promised there would be a “framework” in place to make it all less chaotic, somehow .
Any student who was in the home stretch of graduating might having a fighting chance of finishing their degree now. But other students shouldn’t see this as any victory. They will do this again in a few months. Any student with the means to leave and continue their studies elsewhere should go. Which is sad, because it’s what Donald Trump wants. But I can’t encourage any foreign student to come here while our Mad King is doing his thing.
The article didn’t explicitly state it, but she was probably released on her own recognizance. (In other words, she pinky-swore to come back for her trial).
Bail is just a tactic to compel the person to come back to court and face their charges by forcing them to pay a fee which they don’t get back unless they show up. This lady is a judge. She is unlikely to disappear before her court date, because it would affect all the cases she is in charge of.
