Harvard wins court case against Trump administration efforts to block foreign students.
The Trump Administration lost in court today. A judge blocked their efforts to prevent Harvard from enrolling foreign students.
U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs issued the preliminary injunction after having granted a temporary restraining order against the federal government this month.
The injunction holds that the administration is blocked from yanking Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification, which was based on a May 22 revocation notice the Department of Homeland Security sent to Harvard administrators.
In her decision, Burroughs directed the government to “immediately” prepare guidance to alert Trump administration officials to disregard that notice and to restore “every visa holder and applicant to the position that individual would have been absent such Revocation Notice.”.
Preliminary injunctions can be appealed, which the Justice Department is likely to do.
Frequently when a court thwarts his efforts, President Trump is prone to lashing out and saying some not very complimentary things about the judge. But that’s not what happened today. On the contrary, he posted a message on Truth Social a short time ago praising Harvard.
If a Settlement is made on the basis that is currently being discussed, it will be “mindbogglingly” HISTORIC, and very good for our Country.
