A U.S. judge has slammed the brakes on former President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to block foreign students from attending Harvard University. In a fiery court order, Judge Allison D. Burroughs called out the policy’s potential to cause "immediate and irreparable injury" to the Ivy League giant, granting a temporary restraining order.
The ruling comes after Harvard argued that barring new international students would disrupt academic programs and harm its global reputation. This isn’t the first time Trump’s student visa restrictions have faced legal pushback—his 2020 attempt to expel online learners also crumbled in court.
With over 12% of Harvard’s student body coming from abroad, the decision is a win for diversity in education. But the legal battle isn’t over yet—both sides will return to court soon. Stay tuned for updates!
