WASHINGTON, May 29 (Xinhua) — A U.S. federal judge on Thursday extended a temporary restraining order against the Donald Trump administration’s policy of barring international students from Harvard University.
According to the Massachusetts District Court document, the temporary injunction “will remain in effect” until the parties consult and submit either a joint motion for a preliminary injunction or individual motions to the judge for consideration, at which point a final order for a preliminary injunction will be entered.
Judge Allison Burrows held a hearing in the case Thursday morning.
On May 22, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that it had revoked Harvard University’s certification for its undergraduate and exchange student program, effectively barring the university from enrolling international students.
On May 23, Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the policy. That same day, Burrows issued a temporary injunction blocking the administration’s policy and ordering the status quo to be maintained until the merits of the case are heard.
According to Harvard, international students made up more than 27 percent of the university’s total enrollment in the fall 2023 semester. The university currently has about 6,800 international students and scholars from more than 140 countries and regions, most of whom are pursuing master’s and doctoral degrees. –0–
