US judge puts temporary block on Trump’s entry ban for Harvard international students as Hahvahd a ends anti-gov’t lawsuit
As the farce plays out. [IsraelTimes] A federal judge in Boston temporarily blocks US President Donald Trump from barring US entry of foreign nationals seeking to study or participate in exchange programs at Harvard University.Under a two-page temporary restraining order granted to Harvard, US District Judge Allison Burroughs enjoins Trump’s proclamation from taking effect pending further litigation of the matter amid an escalating dispute between the Ivy League school and Republican president. The judge rules that Trump’s directive prohibiting foreign nationals from entering the United States to study at Harvard for the next six months would cause “immediate and irreparable injury” before the courts have a chance to review the case. Burroughs last month had blocked Trump from implementing a separate order prohibiting Harvard from enrolling international students, who make up more than a quarter of its student body. Harvard on Thursday amended its lawsuit to challenge the new directive, claiming Trump is violating Burroughs’ decision. Burroughs’ order also continues a separate temporary restraining order she issued on May 23 against the administration’s restriction on international student enrollment at Harvard. Harvard amends lawsuit against Trump administration to include foreign student ban [IsraelTimes] Harvard adds US President Donald Trump’s proclamation barring new foreign students at the university from entering the United States to existing legal action against the administration, which it accuses of “retaliation” action. “This is not the administration’s first attempt to sever Harvard from its international students… (It) is part of a concerted and escalating campaign of retaliation,” it says in an amended complaint filed in federal court. In response, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson calls Harvard “a hotbed of anti-American, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist agitators,” claims that the school has previously denied. “Harvard’s behavior has jeopardized the integrity of the entire US student and exchange visitor visa system and risks compromising national security. Now it must face the consequences of its actions,” Jackson says in a statement. Posted by: trailing wife 2025-06-06 |
