A federal court in Atlanta is deciding whether or not more than 100 international students, including dozens from Georgia, can return to school in the U.S. Or if they will be detained or deported.

Lawyers for the students say they abruptly had their immigration status terminated by President Donald Trump’s administration -- some who voiced pro-Palestinian opinions online or during student protests.

The Atlanta Civic Circle's Saba Long, filling-in for Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson this week, along with Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam, discuss this unfolding story. 

Plus, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents approved the naming of a Georgia Tech school after former President Jimmy Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter.
