A judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration’s plan to strip Harvard University of its ability to enrol foreign students.

The ruling came after Harvard filed a lawsuit - the latest escalation of a dispute between the White House and one of America’s most prestigious institutions.

US District Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order in a short ruling issued on Friday.

The order pauses a move that the Department of Homeland Security made on Thursday to revoke Harvard’s access to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program - a government database that manages foreign students.

      It’s so easy to parse what they say if you use 1984 rules. Reverse everything.

      “Democrats are cheating the vote!” => “We are”

      “Democrats are trafficking children and drinking their blood!” => “We are”

      “Democrats are letting gangs into the country!” => “We are”
