Harvard files legal challenge over Trump’s ban on US entry for incoming foreign students
- Harvard University filed an amended complaint on Thursday, June 5, 2025, challenging President Trump's ban on foreign students entering the U.S. to attend Harvard.
- This legal action follows Trump’s Wednesday directive aimed at blocking Harvard’s international enrollment, representing escalating tensions between the university and the administration.
- A federal judge in Boston halted the Department of Homeland Security’s attempt to revoke Harvard’s authorization to enroll international students, amid widespread visa uncertainties affecting thousands of foreign students across the country.

- If the ban stands, Harvard’s 7,000 visa-holding students and their dependents face disrupted enrollment, increasing uncertainty for international education and potential expansion of such policies to other schools.
