US EditionJudge blocks Trump administration from revoking Harvard enrollment of foreign students
- A federal judge issued a temporary order preventing the Trump administration from revoking Harvard’s authorization to enroll international students under the federal visa program.
- Harvard filed the lawsuit after the administration accused it of harboring anti-American agitators and demanded records on foreign students involved in protests or violence.
- The lawsuit argues the government’s action violates the First Amendment, will affect more than 7,000 visa holders, and disrupt programs where international students play key roles.
- Harvard contends the administration failed to justify retaliatory withdrawal properly, noting the impact would block admissions for at least two years and cause applicants to fear reprisal.
- The restraining order temporarily preserves Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students, but the dispute highlights tensions over political retaliation and campus safety allegations.
