A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump’s recent attempt to prevent international students from entering the United States or obtaining visas to attend Harvard University. The order came just hours after Harvard expanded its existing lawsuit against an earlier Trump administration move regarding foreign students.
According to Politico, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs ruled that Harvard would face immediate and irreparable harm if Trump’s Wednesday proclamation were allowed to proceed. The proclamation had authorized the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department to effectively ban foreign nationals from studying or teaching at Harvard.
