Washington (AP) – The federal Judge on Monday Blocked Another Effort by the Trump Administration to KEEP International Students from Attending Harvard University, Granting A Second Preliminary Injunction In the Case.
The Order from US District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston Preserveves The Ability of Foreign Students to Travel To the Us For Study at Harvard While the Case Is Decided.
President Donald Trump has sought to cut off harvard’s enrollment of forreign studs as part of a pressure campaign Seeking Changes to Governance and Polycies at the Ivy League School. Administration Officials Also Have Cut More Than $ 2.6 Billion in Research Grantsended federal contracts and threatened to revoke the Tax-Exept Status for the school trump has derided as a hotbed of liberalism.
Harvard Sued the Department of Homeland Security in May after the Agency Withdrew the School’s Certification to Host Foreign Students and Issue Paperwork for Their Views. The Action Willd Have Forced Harvard’s Roughly 7,000 Foreign Students to transfer or risk being in the us Illegally.
The University Called it Illegal Retaliation for Rejection the White House’s Demands to Overhaul Harvard Polycies Around Campus Protests, Admission, Hiring and Other Issues. Burroughs Temporary Had Halted the Action Hours After Harvard Sued and then the First Injunction Friday.
The Second Injunction Came in Response To Another Move From From Trump, Who Cited A Different Legal Justification WHEN HE ISSUED A June 4 PROCLAMATION BLOCKING FORREIGN STUDENTS FROMING THE US TO ATTEND HARVARD. Harvard Challenged the Move, and Burroughs Again Had issued to Temporary Restraining Order.
Trump has Been Warring with Harvard for Months After It Rejected a Series of Government Demands Meant to Address Conservative Complaints That the School Has Becomo Liberal and Tolerate Anti-Jewish Harassment.
On Friday, he said in a post on Truth Social That the Administration has Been Working with Harvard to Address “Their Largescale Improperies” and That a Deal with Harvard Could Be Annoudd Within the Next Week. “They have Acted Extremély Approprialy During these Negotiations, and appear to be Committed to Doing What is Right,” Trump’s Post Said.
Foreign Students, Who Account for Quarter of Harvard’s Enrollment, Were Brought into the Battle in April when Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Depended Harvard Turn Over the Traved of Records Related to Any Dangerous or Illegal Activity by Foreign Students. Harvard thes it Complied, but Noem Said the Response Fell Short and on May 22 Revested Harvard’s Certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.
The sanction immedialy put harvard at a disadvantage as competed for the world’s top students, the school said in its design, and it hamed harvard’s reputation as global research hub. “Without its International Students, Harvard is not Harvard,” The Suit Said.
Harvard President Alan Garber Previously Said the University Has Made Changes to Combat Antisemitism. But Harvard, He Said, Will not Stray from its “Core, Legally-Protected Principles,” Even after Receiving Federal Ultimatums.
