Judges temporarily block Trump's steps to the Harvard bar from registering international students

Harvard University sued Trump’s administration on Friday, accusing that the move was “a bright violation of the first amendment, legal process clause, and administrative procedure law.”

US District Judge Allison D. Burroughs granted a temporary detention order and set a trial for Tuesday morning.

President Harvard Alan Garber called the order as “Critical Steps to Protect Our International Students’ Rights and Opportunities” In a letter to the University Student Agency sent on Friday afternoon.

Trump administration said that on Thursday the school lost its ability to use student visitors and exchange programs (which allowed non -citizens to study at universities under a particular visa) because it did not meet the demands sent last month to supply information about student visa holders.

“As a result of your refusal to comply with many requests to provide information related to the Department of Domestic Security while perpetuating the unfaithful campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promoting the sympathy of pro-Hamas, and employing diversity, and diversity of diversity, and diversity of diversity, you have lost these rights.

Previously Friday, Gerber pushed back to a message to the university.

“The government has claimed that its destructive action was based on Harvard’s failure to meet the demand for information from the US Department of Security. In fact, Harvard responded to the department’s request as required by the law,” Gerber said.

Inside it complaintHarvard said “There is no legal justification” to cancel his status.

The school accused the administration of carrying out “unprecedented attacks and retaliation” because the university supports policies that are not liked by administration.

“The government has casually discarded the protection of the first amendment to the core, protection of procedural legal processes, and DHS regulations themselves on direct and destroying effects for Harvard and their communities. More than 7,000 holders of F-1 and J-1 visas from Harvard-have become a pawn in a reactualized campaign exposed by the government,” complaints.

Disputes about international students are the latest developments in administrative deadlock with one of the most prestigious universities in the country.

Trump has threatened school tax -free status and arrested billions of federal funds after school rejection to meet administrative demands on campus policies and governance, including antisemitism and Dei’s use on campus.

The latest selection By ABC News/Washington Post found that most of the Americans (66%) sided with Harvard in conflict. Thirty -two percent of respondents sided with Trump’s government. The poll was carried out before administrative transfer to block Harvard so as not to accept international students.

The Secretary of Domestic Security Noem wrote to Harvard in April who requested the information stage given to DHS so that schools maintain their SEVP status.

According to the letter, he asked Harvard to provide information about the activities of the “known” student visa holder; violent activity; threats to students or faculties; Disciplinary actions taken as a result of being involved in protests; information about whether students block the school learning environment; and courses conducted by students to maintain visa status.

Noem said the school did not provide adequate information as a response, and that was “privilege, not the right” for students to study at American universities.
