ACLU of Michigan dismisses lawsuit against Trump administration over revoked international student visas
The ACLU of Michigan announced it has reached a deal with the Trump administration in a federal lawsuit over the termination of four international students' visas. The students attended Wayne State University and the University of Michigan when the administration revoked their visas. Campus staff typically discovered an individual student's status by checking the federal government's web-based database, the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. On Monday, the ACLU said it dropped the lawsuit after those visas were restored. "If it were not for the courage of our clients – and the hundreds of others across the nation – we could not have challenged this callous and ruthless attack on students who are simply trying to learn and enrich our community," said ACLU of Michigan attorney Ramis Wadood in a statement. "The aim of this lawless administration is to attack the rights of some, especially vulnerable communities like our clients, and to terrorize us all. The Trump regime will continue to come for our rights, and the ACLU will be just as relentless in pushing back on every front with all that we have." Earlier this year, several colleges and universities across the U.S. reported that the federal government had revoked international students' visas. The move resulted in the Trump administration facing dozens of lawsuits, including in Michigan, over the visa cancellations nationwide. President Trump eventually reversed the action to terminate registrations for thousands of those students. Federal officials said more than 4,700 students would have their visa records reinstated. In late May, the State Department ordered U.S. embassies to halt scheduling new student visa appointments while the administration expands social media screenings for applicants. Meanwhile, international students working to attend college in the U.S. are advised to remove any posts on their social media accounts that could attract the State Department's attention.

Historic university garden vandalized in apparent anti-Israel statement: 'Don't waste your tears'
Hundreds of the University of Michigan's iconic peonies were reportedly cut in an act of vandalism – apparently perpetrated by at least one unidentified pro-Palestinian agitator. The Ann Arbor school's W.E. Upjohn Peony Garden, located in Nichols Arboretum, is home to North America's largest collection of historic herbaceous peonies, according to The Associated Press – and it boasts about 800 plants with 10,000 flowers at peak bloom. However, about 250 – or one-third of them – were found Sunday morning with most of their flowers cut off. Anti-israel Protesters Torch Diplomas Outside Columbia University On Graduation Day While no group has taken credit for the gratuitous act of destruction, according to the university's Division of Public Safety & Security (DPSS), papers found around the site outlined the apparent motive. "Plant lives don't matter. Human lives do," the papers read in part. "Stop the war. Resist Imperialism." Read On The Fox News App "Palestinian lives deserve to be cared for. More than these flowers," they continue. "Don't waste your tears on the peonies. They are not even dead and will grow again next spring." "Make no mistake, the criminal tactics used in the recent act of vandalism at Nichols Arboretum are wholly unacceptable," read a statement by the university. "We unequivocally condemn the destruction of property and any act of vandalism on our campus," the statement continued. "Damaging a beloved community space intended to foster reflection and bring hope to the whole community is counter productive. We urge all community members to channel their voices through constructive and meaningful dialogue." University Of Michigan President's Home Spray-painted With Anti-israel Messages: 'Intifada' UMich is no stranger to acts of vandalism by anti-Israel agitators – university President Santa Ono's home and the surrounding area were spray-painted with the words "intifada" and "coward" in October. The Upjohn Garden incident also transpired on the same day as an alleged terrorist attack on a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, that left multiple people injured. The suspect, Mohamad Sabry Soliman, "stated that he wanted to kill all Zionist people," according to a federal complaint. The DPSS is actively investigating the matter, which the school describes as a "criminal incident." A Public Affairs representative for the university declined to comment further on the incident when reached by Fox News article source: Historic university garden vandalized in apparent anti-Israel statement: 'Don't waste your tears'

Paradromics implants brain-computer interface into first human patient
Paradromics, a competitor of Neuralink, announced Monday it safely implanted a brain-computer interface into a human patient last month at the University of Michigan, and recorded neural activity before removing it 10 minutes later. Photo by University of Michigan June 2 (UPI) -- Paradromics, a competitor of Neuralink, announced Monday it safely implanted a brain-computer interface into a human patient and recorded neural activity, before removing it 10 minutes later. The surgical procedure, performed May 14 at the University of Michigan, marks the first time Paradromics has temporarily implanted its device -- called Connexus -- into a human with the goal of restoring neural signals in patients with spinal cord injuries, stroke or ALS. Until last month, the Austin-based startup had only implanted and tested the device on sheep. "We've shown in sheep that our device is best in class from a data and longevity standpoint, and now we've also shown that it's compatible with humans," Matt Angle, Paradromics founder and chief executive officer, told CNBC. Last year, Elon Musk's Neuralink became the first to implant a brain-computer interface into a human patient. Noland Arbaugh, who was paralyzed in an accident in 2016, received "the Link" implant in January 2024. Since then, Arbaugh has been using it for up to eight hours a day and is able to do a variety of digital tasks. Brain-computer interface companies Precision Neuroscience and Synchron, which is backed by Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, have also implanted their systems into humans. While brain-computer interfaces interpret neural signals associated with movement, they do not read thoughts. Connexus, which is smaller than a dime and has 420 small electrodes, is embedded directly into the surrounding brain tissue. Paradromics' BCI records brain activity at the level of individual neurons. "By having proximity to the individual neurons, you can get the highest-quality signal," said Angle. The patient, who received last month's Connexus implant, was already undergoing neurosurgery to treat epilepsy and consented to the research, allowing doctors to temporarily implant the device into their temporal lobe. "There's a very unique opportunity when someone is undergoing a major neurosurgical procedure," said Angle. "They're going to have their skull opened up, and there's going to be a piece of brain that will be imminently removed. Under these conditions, the marginal risk of testing out a brain implant is actually very low." While Paradromics' Connexus implant is still being reviewed by regulators, research institutions such as the University of Michigan are allowed to use the devices as long as they prove there is no significant risk to the patient. "You do all of these steps, you validate the hardware, you have this really high degree of rational certainty that things are going to work," Angle said, "but still emotionally when it works and when it happens the way you expected it to, it's still very, very gratifying."
