On Friday, a federal judge blocked the efforts of the Trump administration to prevent Harvard University from welcoming international students, offering the Ivy League school another victory because he questions multiple government sanctions in the middle of a battle with the White House.
The ordinance of the American district judge Allison Burroughs in Boston preserves Harvard’s ability to welcome foreign students while the case is decided.
Harvard continued the Ministry of Internal Security in May after the agency withdrew the school certification to welcome foreign students and publish documents for their visas. The action would have forced around 7,000 Harvard foreign students – about a quarter of its total registration – to transfer or risk being illegally in the United States. New foreign students were reportedly prohibited from coming to Harvard.

Kuba Wrzesniewski graduated from Harvard from Kelowna. He joined Daybreak for an interview of feature film on the assault of the American government at Harvard University. He is a former geopolitical business consultant for the American Department of Defense.
The university called for this illegal reprisals for rejected requests from the White House to revise Harvard’s policies around demonstrations, admissions, hires and other problems. Burroughs temporarily interrupted the hours of action after Harvard continued.
Less than two weeks later, in early June, Trump moved to prevent foreign students from entering the United States to attend Harvard, citing a different legal justification. Harvard challenged this decision and Burroughs also blocked this effort.
The judgments and departures of the legal battle have unstable current students and left other people worldwide while waiting to find out if they will be able to attend a oldest and richest university in America.
The efforts of the Trump administration to prevent Harvard from registering international students have created an environment of “fear, concern and deep confusion,” the university said in a court. Many international students have asked questions about the transfer of the university, said Harvard immigration director, Maureen Martin.
Trump at war with Harvard for months after rejecting a series of government demands intended to respond to conservative complaints that the school has become too liberal and tolerated anti-Jewish harassment. Trump officials have reduced more than $ 2.6 billion in the US dollars of research grants, ending federal contracts and threatened to revoke its tax exemption status.
In April, the Secretary of Internal Security, Kristi Noem, demanded that Harvard put a mine of files related to any dangerous or illegal activity by foreign students. Harvard said that it respected, but Noem said that the answer failed and that on May 22, she revoked Harvard’s certification in the program of students and exchanges.
The sanction immediately put Harvard in a disadvantage when she competed for the best students in the world, the school said in her trial, and she affected Harvard’s reputation as a global research center.
“Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard,” said the pursuit.
The action would have upset certain higher schools which strongly recruit abroad. Some schools abroad quickly offered invitations to Harvard students, including two universities in Hong Kong.
Harvard president Alan Garber previously said that the university had changed combat anti -Semitism. But Harvard, he said, will not move away from his “central and legally protected principles”, even after receiving federal ultimatums.
