Judge Blocks Trump Administration's Attempt to Bar Harvard from Enrolling International Students

A federal judge in Massachusetts issued a temporary restraining order, blocking the Trump administration from enforcing its decision to revoke Harvard University's ability to host international students. The administration's action, announced last week by Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, cited concerns about Harvard's alleged failure to provide information on international students. Judge Allison Burroughs stated that her ruling 'gives some protection to international students who are anxious about coming here.' The Trump administration's move is part of a broader crackdown on international students across the country. Harvard, a prominent institution with a large international student body, has become a focal point of this controversy. The temporary restraining order will remain in effect until a preliminary injunction is decided, providing a temporary reprieve for affected students and highlighting the ongoing legal battle over the administration's policy.
