The Donald Trump administration is revoking the legal status of migrants who arrived in the US under a Biden administration procedure using a smartphone app, formerly known as CBP One, and has instructed them to leave immediately or face arrest and deportation. More than 900,000 migrants had secured appointments through CBP One and entered the US at official entry points along the southern border while being given notices to appear in the immigration court and start the asylum process, besides a two-year grant of immigration parole that allowed them to work lawfully in the US. The policy was designedin Biden regime to dissuade migrants from crossing the border unlawfully. Now, they are being informed that their paroles stand revoked and they are subject to prosecution if they remain in the US. The Trump administration is sending notices to these immigrants informing them that their parole status is being terminated.

Trump admin tells migrants who entered US via CBP One app to leave immediately

The Trump administration has abandoned an order to force out foreign students in the aftermath of widespread condemnation of the move and pressure from colleges and major businesses.

US officials announced last week that international students at schools that had moved to online-only classes due to the coronavirus pandemic would have to leave the country if they were unable to transfer to a college with in-person instruction.

The announcement did not augur well for many universities and colleges that were still making plans for the fall semester, trying to balance concerns about rising cases of the novel coronavirus in many US states and the obvious need to return to classes.

A flurry of lawsuits were also filed challenging the rule including one brought by Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology and another by a coalition of state governments. Dozens of big companies and colleges and universities filed “friend-of-the-court” briefs opposing the rule, arguing the measure was unlawful and would adversely affect their academic institutions.

In a highly anticipated court hearing on Tuesday in the case brought by Harvard, US District Judge Allison Burroughs in Massachusetts said the government and the two elite universities that sued had come to a settlement that would roll back the new rules and restore the previous status quo.

The hearing lasted less than four minutes.

In March, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) waived rules for international students on F-1 and M-1 visas that limit the number of online courses foreign students can take if they want to remain in the United States. The move came as schools shuttered campuses in response to the spreading coronavirus and public health lockdowns.

But on July 6, ICE abruptly reversed the policy without explanation. It said foreign students could stay if their programmes were in-person or offered a mix of online and on-campus instruction, but many universities had not yet settled on plans for the fall.

Harvard planned to hold all of its classes online for the upcoming academic year.

US revokes controversial order that would have seen foreign students deported

The Trump administration had a simple but stark message for world financial leaders who gathered in Washington on Thursday amid worries about rising US&nbsp;protectionism: fair trade means tit-for-tat tariffs.

Speaking to bankers just hours after the formal start of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank spring meetings, White House National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn said Washington was prepared to get tougher in the trade arena.

&quot;If you want to insist on having a tariff on a product - which we prefer you not - the president believes that we should treat you in a reciprocal fashion and that we should tax your product coming into the United States,&quot; Cohn said. &quot;That is free, that is open, and that is fair.&quot;

Asked at the Institute of International Finance about his message for his international counterparts, Cohn said the United States doesn&#39;t want to be &quot;taken advantage of&quot; any more.

&quot;The message is simple. We care about the United States of America, we care about economic prosperity, we care about economic growth, we care about trade, we care about being treated fairly,&quot; he said.

Earlier at the White House, President Donald Trump signed a directive to study whether steel imports into the United States should be restricted for national security reasons under a law passed in 1962.

Such moves, including a review of &quot;Buy American&quot; rules launched earlier this week, have raised concerns that the Trump administration is looking outside the World Trade Organization for remedies to restrict US&nbsp;imports.

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde told reporters on Thursday that more needed to be done to make the global trading system fairer and expressed a willingness to work with Trump to do just that.

In a news conference, Lagarde said there was a need to improve the WTO dispute settlement rules as well as reduce government subsidies for industry and tackle other trade distortions.

She said the IMF would do its part in working to cut government subsidies for industry and other trade practices that limit competition, but said &quot;protectionist measures&quot; needed to be avoided.

&quot;From the various contacts that I&#39;ve had with the (Trump) administration so far, I have every reason to believe that we will make progress, that we will cooperate all together in order to support and indeed improve the system as we have it,&quot; Lagarde said.

The IMF also has expressed concerns about the Trump administration&#39;s plan to cut taxes, releasing reports on Wednesday that said such a move could fuel financial risk-taking and increase public debt.

Appearing alongside Cohn, US&nbsp;Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he would unveil the tax plan &quot;soon, very soon,&quot; and predicted it would be passed by Congress this year.

But he gave few details and shed no light on whether the plan would include a controversial border-tax component.

&quot;It will be sweeping, it will be significant and it will create a lot of economic growth,&quot; Mnuchin said. &quot;The plan will pay for itself with growth.&quot;

Separately, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim also put in a plug for free trade and said he was &quot;encouraged&quot; by his engagement so far with Trump. But he added that he would not reduce the multilateral lender&#39;s commitment to trade or to financing alternative energy projects.

&quot;The science of climate change didn&#39;t change with any particular election, and I don&#39;t see that it will,&quot; Kim said at a news conference. &quot;We have to be an evidence-based organisation.&quot;

&nbsp;

&#39;LITTLE LEVERAGE&#39;

The IMF and World Bank meetings come about a month after Mnuchin insisted that an anti-protectionism pledge be dropped from a Group of 20 communique issued in Baden-Baden, Germany.

Eswar Prasad, former head of the IMF&#39;s China department, said the Trump administration may choose to simply ignore the advice of the IMF and other institutions.

&quot;The IMF has little leverage since its limited toolkit of analysis-based advice, persuasion, and peer pressure is unlikely to have much of an impact on this administration&#39;s policies,&quot; said Prasad, now an international trade professor at Cornell University.

Mnuchin&#39;s decision against naming China a currency manipulator last week removed one concern for the IMF ahead of the meetings.
