A U.S. federal judge temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s move to deny visas to foreign students planning to attend Harvard University, following a legal challenge filed by the school.
District Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order halting enforcement of the presidential proclamation issued Wednesday. The ruling aims to maintain the status quo while legal proceedings continue.
The order also extends a prior restraining order against an earlier attempt by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.
Harvard amended its lawsuit to challenge both the DHS action and the new proclamation, arguing they violate the university’s First Amendment rights. The court is expected to consider a preliminary injunction before June 20.
