Trump effort to keep Harvard from hosting foreign students blocked by federal judge

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to stop Harvard University from hosting foreign nationals on student visas.

US District Judge Allison Burroughs’s preliminary injunction extends a temporary block she issued last month, which prevented the Trump administration from revoking the Ivy League school’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification.

The certification allows Harvard to host roughly 7,000 international students – about 27% of the school’s total enrollment.

The injunction will remain in effect until the underlying case is decided, the Obama-appointed judge ruled.

The ruling marks another legal victory for the Cambridge, Massachusetts school as it challenges several sanctions ordered against it by President Trump.

Harvard filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in May after the Department of Homeland Security withdrew the school’s SEVP certification, which would’ve forced foreign nationals attending Harvard to transfer out of the prestigious institution.

The university claims the revocation is retaliation for its rejection of White House demands to overhaul campus protest, admission and hiring policies over antisemitism concerns.

Harvard had also refused Trump’s request for it to turn over foreign students’ records, including any video or audio of their protest activity in the past five years.

Thanks for the link, and what an eye-opener it was. Too many chiefs at the top wasting most of their budget. Spending yourself into oblivion. Harvard $8 billion in debt because they’ve had to borrow to continue functioning. What happens when they can’t borrow any more?

“The left always regards the Constitution as a “living breathing document” when they want to get around its prohibitions, but treat it as cast iron when they can use it to restrict the right.

The other problem is that Congress is filled with Traitors and Grifters, not Representatives. They fail to exercise their authority for the citizens, rather deciding to act as fraud machines for Democrat networks and large corporations, rather than representing the interests of citizens.

Trump is the first America-First person in DC since Reagan.

Quit trolling.”

Interesting claim I’ve seen here often. Here’s what Thomas Jefferson had to say about the Constitution at the time it was ratified:

“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.” ― Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson clearly didn’t consider the Constitution a static and sacred object.

Jefferson would not have approved of all the shenanigans the Democrats have pulled against Trump; nor of the cherry-picking of Commie judges to issue nationwide injunctions.

Let alone the theft of the 2020 election.

Nice job, troll-boi.
