This article says his student visa was revoked almost two years ago but doesn't say if he tried to get it back and if he was successful. So he overstayed on a revoked student visa? Or no? Or maybe?

I'm no immigration lawyer, but that sounds like some extremely dodgy advice from the University. It has a ring of "Don't worry; no one ever checks up on it."
Would be interesting to know on what grounds it was revoked in the first place.
I like to know the facts. It's very much a me thing. People deserve due process and to be treated like humans, regardless of whether they committed a crime or not.
visas and status are different things. his visa being revoked means he couldn't leave and reenter the us. his status is a separate issue/document the university determines good standing. so he was fine to stay in the US for the time being
it's pretty doubtful that some random student worker is saying this. It's much more likely that the case is a bit complicated and that ICE is exploiting a technicality that the school has never seen before because they're working as hard as possible to meet Trump-imposed deportation quotas.
The US system is convoluted. A visa is only necessary for admission to the country. Someone on a student visa is admitted for “duration of status”, as long as they’re in school.
If the visa is subsequently revoked, you’re “deportable”, but still here legally until an immigration judge rules.
Hard to tell with limited info. But I was always paranoid about my F1 after 9/11 happened. You got different info from USCIS vs college advisors vs lawyers. It can be a shitshow and a disaster if you end up with bad advice.
