US EditionJudge halts Trump’s proclamation to suspend new international student visas at Harvard hours after university filed amended lawsuit
- On June 5, 2025, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston temporarily blocked President Trump's proclamation barring foreign nationals from entering the U.S. To study at Harvard University.
- The block followed an escalating legal dispute after Trump cited national security concerns to restrict international student visas for six months, a move Harvard challenged by amending its lawsuit.
- Judge Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order, stating that the directive would result in significant and irreversible harm before the judicial system could fully assess the case, while also maintaining a previous order that blocked restrictions on Harvard’s enrollment of international students.
- Harvard accused the Trump administration of breaking federal law by not substantiating its national security assertions and claimed the government was retaliating against the university for resisting attempts to influence its governance and academic principles; as part of this dispute, the administration withheld $3.2 billion in federal grants from Harvard.
- The ruling delays enforcement of the visa ban, preserving Harvard’s ability to enroll international students who make up over 27% of its body, and signals ongoing judicial scrutiny of the administration’s immigration restrictions on elite institutions.
