Judge halts Trump’s proclamation to suspend new international student visas at Harvard hours after university filed amended lawsuit
- On Thursday, US District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston temporarily blocked President Trump from enforcing a six-month ban on foreign nationals entering the US to study at Harvard University.
- The ban followed escalating tensions after Homeland Security revoked Harvard's student visa certification on May 22 and Trump cited national security to justify barring international students.
- Harvard challenged the directive with an amended lawsuit, asserting the administration retaliated for refusing control over its governance and disputing claims the ban protects US interests.
- The court found Trump's directive would cause "immediate and irreparable injury," noting international students comprise over 27% of Harvard's enrollment and that thousands would be denied entry.
- The ruling pauses the ban pending further litigation, reflecting ongoing legal battles amid a broader administration crackdown on elite universities accused of ideological conflicts.
