A federal judge in Boston issued a preliminary injunction Thursday to block the Trump administration’s directive to strip Harvard University of its ability to admit international students.

Judge Allison D. Burroughs – who was appointed by former President Barack Obama – 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.

At Thursday’s hearing, Burroughs said the block on the Trump administration would stand for now.

Fox News reports:

In its lawsuit, Harvard said the revocation would impact more than 7,000 visa holders – more than a quarter of its student body.

Homeland Security Investigations doubled down in a filing on Wednesday on its intent to withdraw Harvard’s certification of its Student Exchange Visitors Program. DHS cited several “compliance issues,” citing the university’s 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’s hearing that international students are “terrified” and are “facing real harm in real time.”

  1. I am not a lawyer but beleive I maybe correct that judges do not have the authority to block tariffs or anything else that the President does in relation to his duties as US President. Since our country was founded on three equal but separate branches of government means all three are equal. That does not give these judges the right to interfere with the President’s duties. That would imply the the judicial branch is higher than the Prsidents. I am not saying everything the President does is corret but what I am saying is these rouge judges need reining in. The solution I beleive is for the Preident to remove the judges position, thus eliminating their job. Thus end of problem,. He can always appoint new judges for the new position but this stops these judges from acting like the President.
    We need ot stand behind the Presidency and get rid of these bad actors trying to run the country.
    I also beleive the reason for all this theatre is Donald Trumop cannot be bought. In Washington DC, being bought is normal and that scares those that are being bought than they cannot buy the President. Scary but true.
