Federal Judge Extends Order Blocking Trump Administration Ban On Foreign Students At Harvard

4 days ago A federal judge has extended an order blocking the Trump administration’s attempt to bar Harvard University from enrolling foreign students. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs granted Harvard’s request for a preliminary injunction, blocking the government’s action until the case is decided. It had already been paused since last week, when Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order. Harvard sued the Department of Homeland Security after Secretary Kristi Noem revoked its ability to host foreign students at its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. On Wednesday, the Trump administration announced a new effort to revoke Harvard’s certification to enroll foreign students.
