Federal judge blocks Trump effort to keep Harvard from hosting foreign students
CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, JUN 20 – A federal judge blocked DHS from revoking Harvard's certification, protecting about 27% of its students who are international amid legal disputes over campus protests and federal funding cuts.
- U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs blocked the Trump administration's May 22 order revoking Harvard's certification to host international students on Friday.
- The Trump administration revoked Harvard's SEVP certification after the university rejected government demands to overhaul policies related to protests, admissions, and hiring.
- In May, Harvard filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security after the agency revoked its authorization to enroll foreign students, arguing that this decision would compel approximately 7,000 international students to leave or face legal jeopardy and would damage the university’s standing in the global academic community.
- Judge Burroughs enjoined the administration from enforcing the revocation, restored visa statuses for affected students, and allowed only standard DHS compliance reviews under established rules.
- The ruling ensures Harvard retains international students during litigation and follows President Trump’s statement that a possible deal with the university could be announced soon.
