Note: the headline is not talking about visas. What they're talking about is a status field the student visa sponsor, the university, maintains: "Yes, this person really is a student here". The student visas are contingent on the person continuing ongoing studies—a status the university certifies. The Administration is, as I parse it, fraudulently editing these fields through a backdoor, and then using that "They're not an active student at XYZ" status they forged as the basis for revoking the visas.

Unlike student visas – which are entry documents that allow someone to enter the country – student statuses are what allow people to stay in the US. To maintain one’s status, a student has to fulfill certain requirements, like being properly enrolled in classes, keeping documents up to date, and following work restrictions.
