A federal judge in Boston on Thursday issued a preliminary injunction to block the Trump administration’s directive to strip Harvard University of its ability to admit international students.
Judge Allison Burroughs issued the ruling from the bench after an emergency hearing on the administration’s move, which upended the lives of the 27 percent of Harvard’s student body that is made up of foreign students.
“I want to maintain the status quo,” Burroughs said from the bench, according to CNN.
Harvard quickly sued the administration last week after the directive was given by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which also ordered current international students at Harvard to transfer to other schools or risk losing their visas.
“This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” DHS head Kristi Noem said. “It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments.
In a court filing on Wednesday, Maureen Martin, the university’s director of immigration services, detailed a long list of consequences the directive had on Harvard in the week since it was announced.
Some international students are looking to transfer, others are declining offers to Harvard, those with Harvard visas are getting extra screening at airports and other countries are looking to recruit students away from Harvard due to the announcement.

She’s as worthless as Sessions.
The Democrats should be proud. Now more than half of Americans despise a judicial system that believes it governs the people. How about a new amendment to the Constitution that demands all judges be elected? I know that won’t help in Blue States, but petitioners will know for sure where to file a grievance.
Like Johnny Cash says, “you can go on for a long time, but sooner or later G-d will cut you down.”
Just end all student visas in that case . A private company doesn’t control who is allowed and not allowed to enter into a sovereign nation.
+1.
{Who controls the visa process? Just deny the visas, no one can do anything about this. Same with tariffs, just charge it on entry. The administration is in charge if Trump just backs them 100%. Constitutional crisis? Who really cares!}
Look, I know the Democrats can do stuff like that, they do it every chance they get, but can a Republican? THAT is the question.
You are spot on.
The status quo is no one new in or out.
The "status quo" is muzzards terrorizing Jews on campus.
