Federal judge blocks Trump effort to keep Harvard from hosting foreign students
- On May 22, 2025, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs blocked the Department of Homeland Security from enforcing a revocation of Harvard's certification to host international students in Boston.
- The revocation followed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's claim that Harvard's compliance with demands about foreign student records fell short, leading to sanctions that Harvard legally challenged in May.
- The court preserved Harvard's ability to enroll roughly 7,000 foreign students, about a quarter of its enrollment, while ordering the government to suspend new punitive actions and allow standard compliance reviews.
- Harvard called the sanctions illegal retaliation for rejecting White House demands on campus policies, stating the actions harmed its reputation and caused fear among international students, some of whom received overseas invitations.
- President Trump said on Truth Social that a deal with Harvard could be announced soon, describing negotiations as appropriate and possibly historic for the country.
