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.
I feel like you’ve underestimated the amount of work that goes into a lawsuit against the government.
I’ve never been involved in such a lawsuit, so that’s quite possible.
