A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against President Trump's proclamation to suspend international student visas at Harvard University. The order came after Harvard urged intervention to prevent immediate harm, as foreign students constitute about 25% of its student body. The judge noted that failing to act could lead to irreparable injury before further discussions occur. The case raises constitutional concerns, as the amended lawsuit argues the proclamation violates the First Amendment by preventing the entry of new international students vital to the university's mission. A hearing is set for mid-June to deliberate further.
The judge's temporary restraining order ensures that Harvard can continue to enroll international students, preventing immediate harm before a formal hearing on the matter.
The lawsuit argues that President Trump's proclamation violates the First Amendment and could irreparably damage Harvard by limiting access to its academic community.
