A divided U.S. appeals court on Tuesday upheld the federal government's practice of allowing student visa holders to remain in the U.S. and work after graduation, ignoring an advocacy group's assertions that the program displaces American tech workers. The court in a 2-1 decision said a program most recently updated in 2016 allowing international students to work in their field of study for up to three years was within the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) authority. The Washington Alliance of Technology Workers, or WashTech, which represents American tech workers, challenged the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program after the Obama administration in 2016 tweaked it to allow students to work in the U.S. for up to three years.
