A federal judge on Friday granted Harvard University’s emergency motion to block the Trump administration from revoking its ability to enroll international students, as litigation on the matter continues.
In her order, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs said Harvard showed “it will sustain immediate and irreparable injury” if the Trump administration is allowed to implement its revocation notice before “there is an opportunity to hear from all parties.”
The order allows Harvard to maintain its “status quo” in enrolling international students, for now. Burroughs has scheduled another hearing for May 27.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem notified the Ivy League school a day earlier that the government would be terminating its student visa program, marking a major escalation in the administration’s pressure campaign against the university.
