A US federal judge will issue an injunction blocking the Trump administration’s efforts to prevent Harvard University from enrolling international students.
The university was in court seeking to extend a temporary order blocking the Trump administration from revoking the school’s right to host international students. The judge, Allison Burroughs, had issued an emergency block last week after the administration abruptly announced it would cancel Harvard’s ability to host international students – the latest and most severe escalation in the administration’s battle against higher education institutions.
As graduation ceremonies were under way on campus, lawyers for the university argued in federal court in Boston that the revocation announced by the government last week violates the US constitution’s free speech and due process rights as well as procedural law regulating government actions.
In a packed court room with several international students in attendance, Burroughs said she wanted to “maintain the status quo” while the case makes its way through the courts.
