A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order against President Trump's proclamation that aimed to ban foreign students from attending Harvard University. This order follows Harvard's legal challenge, which claimed the ban was retaliation for the university's stance against the White House. Judge Allison Burroughs determined that the ban could cause 'immediate and irreparable injury' to the university and its students. The case highlights ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policies and the impact on international students in the U.S.
"I cannot plan my life when everything keeps going back and forth. Give me some certainty: Can I go or not?" - Alan Wang, a prospective Harvard student.
Harvard said the president was attempting an end-run around a previous court order, highlighting concerns over legal retaliation.
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs emphasized that Harvard had shown it would sustain 'immediate and irreparable injury' without intervention.
The Department of Homeland Security attempted to revoke Harvard's certification, but Judge Burroughs previously blocked the action.
