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.
What really makes me laugh is the notion of Harvard, or any of the Ivies, as bastions of liberal thinking! Seriously, just about every single trust fund right winger has a degree from one of these schools, including the sitting president and his brood. Many of them have family names on some campus buildings. It’s always amazed me that this pathetic political bogeyman has actually worked. Just goes to show how stupid most Americans are (source: am an American).
