Judge blocks Trump administration from revoking Harvard enrollment of foreign students
- On June 5, US District Judge Allison Burroughs issued an order temporarily blocking the Trump administration from revoking foreign students' enrollment at Harvard University.
- The order followed the administration's broader crackdown on international student visas, including canceling over 1,500 visas in April and suspending new visa interview appointments last month.
- This crackdown has created anxiety among students and faculty at Johns Hopkins University, where international students make up a large share of the community and travel restrictions threaten research and teaching continuity.
- Rachel Banks from NAFSA noted that visa difficulties may cause students to go elsewhere, which would be a significant loss for U.S. institutions, while Hopkins professor François Furstenberg called for legal resistance, saying, "This is illegal and we're going to fight you in court."
- The judge's order highlights national security concerns while temporarily suspending contentious policies whose long-term effects could disrupt graduate programs and international collaboration across U.S. universities.
