A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump's proclamation banning foreign students from attending Harvard University, deeming it retaliatory and illegal. Harvard's legal challenge argued that the ban was an infringement on their rights to enroll international students. Judge Burroughs stated that Harvard could face "immediate and irreparable injury." This ban could affect thousands of incoming students, as Harvard must now prepare contingency plans while the case moves forward. The order builds on a previous restraining action against the administration's attempt to revoke Harvard's certification for foreign student enrollment.
Harvard's more than 7,000 F-1 and J-1 visa holders - and their dependents - have become pawns in the government's escalating campaign of retaliation.
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order against Trump's proclamation, citing that Harvard would sustain "immediate and irreparable injury" if the order were enacted.
