How important is having an internship to get a good job for ML PhD in USA? [D]

Hey everyone, I'm an international student studying in the US. I'm on track to graduate late next year. My research is not exactly ML, it is in 3D computer vision but have decent exposure to ML as well.

In case you didn't know, the CPT program (which let's internation students do internships) has been suspended by many top universities (UC Berkeley, UIUC, Purdue, UNC, UCLA, stanford, etc). Given that there is now no way for me to do an internship, how hard will it be for me to get a job when I'm nearing graduation?

I have 3 papers in CVPR, 3DV and ICRA (robotics conference) and hope to publish 2 more at next year's ICCV and neurips before graduating. I'm just worried that all my hardwork will go for a waste because of this policy change (I'm from a 3rd world country, so not much opportunity back home).

To be crystal clear, I'm not asking for legal advice, just wanted to know in your experiance, have you seen anyone (international student) get into good industry labs without internships?

EDIT: thanks so much for everyone for the quick replies! If it helps, my specific research area is 3D reconstruction, and I've been focused on Gaussian Splatting recently, if this info helps anyone help me!
