A federal judge in Boston issued a preliminary injunction Thursday to block the Trump administration\u2019s directive to strip Harvard University of its ability to admit international students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge Allison D. Burroughs \u2013 who was appointed by former President\u00a0Barack Obama\u00a0\u2013 already granted Harvard University a temporary restraining order last week, preventing the government from revoking the Ivy League school’s certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. The program permits the university to host international students with F-1 or J-1 visas to study in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Thursday’s hearing, Burroughs said the block on the Trump administration would stand for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In its lawsuit, Harvard said the revocation would impact more than 7,000 visa holders \u2013 more than a quarter of its student body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homeland Security Investigations doubled down in a filing on Wednesday on its intent to withdraw Harvard\u2019s certification of its Student Exchange Visitors Program. DHS cited several “compliance issues,” citing the university\u2019s failure to follow reporting requirements, failure to “maintain a campus environment free of violence and antisemitism” and “practices with foreign entities raising national security concerns.”  

Lawyers representing Harvard said in Thursday\u2019s hearing that international students are “terrified” and are “facing real harm in real time.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
