A U.S. appeals court has revived a proposed class action lawsuit seeking to recoup money that roughly 600 students paid to enroll in a fictitious university set up as part of a federal investigation into student visa fraud. The unanimous three-judge panel of the Federal Circuit ruled that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is not immune from the 2020 lawsuit, as it had entered into contracts with hundreds of individuals to enroll in the fake university. This decision allows the students to proceed with their claims that they were misled and financially harmed by the government's actions.
