A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order against President Trump's recent proclamation aimed at banning foreign students from attending Harvard University. This legal action follows Harvard's challenge to the proclamation, which the university claims is an illegal retaliation for its disagreements with the administration. The judge recognized that the measure could cause 'immediate and irreparable injury' to Harvard's international students, leading to the continuation of current protections while the case unfolds. This episode reflects ongoing tensions between higher education institutions and the federal government regarding student enrollment policies.
"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," Harvard wrote Thursday in a court filing.
Judge Burroughs stated that Harvard had demonstrated it would sustain 'immediate and irreparable injury' if Trump's proclamation went into effect before her ruling.
