A federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration’s ban on Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students, SİA informs via CNN.
US District Court Judge Allison Burroughs ruled hours after the nation’s oldest and wealthiest college filed suit Friday. Harvard argued revocation of its certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program was “clear retaliation” for its refusal of the government’s ideologically rooted policy demands.
Burroughs is the same judge considering a separate lawsuit from Harvard challenging the administration’s freeze of $2.65 billion in federal funding.
Harvard’s latest complaint argues the decision Thursday to drop the school from the Department of Homeland Security’s SEVP system violates the law.
“It is the latest act by the government in clear retaliation for Harvard exercising its First Amendment rights to reject the government’s demands to control Harvard’s governance, curriculum, and the ‘ideology’ of its faculty and students,” the complaint states.
Burroughs, an Obama appointee, said in her order Harvard had shown “it will sustain immediate and irreparable injury” if government were allowed to revoke the school’s certification before the court could consider the matter.
A remote conference in the case is set for Tuesday. Two days later, the judge is due to hear arguments at the federal courthouse in Boston over whether to issue a preliminary injunction – an order that would block the administration’s action until a final decision is made in the lawsuit.
