A federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration's ban on international students at Harvard, ruling in favor of a request for a restraining order due to potential irreparable harm. The Department of Homeland Security had moved to revoke Harvard's certification for the admission of foreign students, threatening both new enrollments and current students' legal status. Harvard responded with a lawsuit, claiming the ban violates the First Amendment and would have devastating effects on its diverse student body. Homeland Security attributed the actions to national safety concerns and connections to foreign entities.
The judge granted Harvard's request for a temporary restraining order, stating the school would suffer "immediate and irreparable injury" without one.
Harvard argued that the ban violates the First Amendment, highlighting investments made in integrating international students into its community.
Homeland Security accused Harvard of harboring "anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators" and jeopardizing campus safety, also mentioning ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Noem stated, "They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law."
