A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against Trump’s effort to restrict foreign student admissions at Harvard University, stating it violated constitutional protections. This ruling builds on an earlier order that halted a proclamation by the Trump administration aimed at blocking thousands of foreign students. Harvard has claimed that this action is part of a broader campaign of retaliation against them for their independent governance. Trump's administration's controversial actions included financial penalties and threats regarding the university's tax-exempt status and federal funding.
US district judge Allison Burroughs in Boston issued an injunction barring Trump's administration from carrying out its latest bid to curtail Harvard's ability to host international students.
The proclamation prohibited foreign nationals from entering the US to study at Harvard or participate in exchange visitor programs for an initial period of six months.
