A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against the Trump administration's attempt to revoke Harvard University's ability to enroll international students. Harvard's lawsuit argued that the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) actions were unlawful and a violation of free speech. The DHS claimed that Harvard was fostering violence and collaborating with the Chinese Communist Party. The ruling affects nearly 7,000 international students, and Harvard's administration warned that such government actions threaten the educational opportunities of students nationwide.
"We condemn this unlawful and unwarranted action," Harvard's president Alan Garber stated, highlighting the broader implications of the Trump administration's decision on international students across the U.S.
DHS's actions were framed by Secretary Kristi Noem as holding Harvard accountable for allegedly fostering violence and antisemitism on its campus, claiming the university colluded with foreign entities.
