Summary

BOSTON, June 16 (Reuters) - A federal judge said on Monday that she would issue a brief extension of an order temporarily blocking President Donald Trump's plan to bar foreign nationals from entering the U.S. to study at Harvard University while she decides whether to issue a longer-term injunction.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, at the end of a hearing in Boston in Harvard's legal challenge to the restrictions, extended to June 23 a temporary restraining order that had been set to expire on Thursday. She said she wanted to give herself more time to prepare a ruling.

"We'll kick out an opinion as soon as we can," she said.

Ian Gershengorn, a lawyer for Harvard, told her that an injunction was necessary to ensure Trump's administration could not implement his latest bid to curtail the school's ability to host international students.

The judge scheduled the hearing after issuing a temporary restraining order on June 6 preventing the administration from implementing a proclamation that Trump had signed a day earlier. A preliminary injunction would provide longer-term relief to Harvard.

Gershengorn argued Trump signed the proclamation to retaliate against Harvard in violation of its free speech rights under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment for refusing to accede to his administration's demands to control the school's governance, curriculum and the ideology of its faculty and students.

"The proclamation is a plain violation of the First Amendment," Gershengorn said.

Almost 6,800 international students attended Harvard in its most recent school year, making up about 27% of the student population of the prestigious school located in...

Until the issue with Harvard is resolved, the State Department should just stop issuing student visas completely across the board.

“””the State Department should just stop issuing student visas completely across the board.”””

Yup. Sorry, we are working on those visas but it might take 10-15 years to get to them. Sorry for the delay.

unfortunately, Trump just heeded China's demand to allow their spies (I mean students) to enroll in American universities.

Hopefully Trump comes to his senses and realizes how this gravely undermines the interests of the US.

Let’s shut the Harvard dump down. Turn it into a community service facility, park, and schools teaching useful trades.

Good!

Harvard is the crown jewel of American higher education. Now all our other great universities have signed on to support Harvard!

Let’s strengthen American higher education, and give back all NIH and NSF grants! “Make America great again!”

I am a proud alumnus of MIT (undergraduate) and Harvard (PhD), so I know!

As for “trade schools”, if you want to learn a trade, get an apprenticeship! The PhD is a kind of apprenticeship, too!

NO KINGS.

Just unelected unaccountable judges to make rulings without the consent of the people.

So slow walk every visa application.

8 months sounds about right.

Then lose their paperwork and make them start again.

I wouldn’t be so proud of a PHD. Switzerland offers free college education. Most people that are unemployed are PHDs. But you have to wait months for a plumber, if you can afford one.

I dunno. Our plumber comes right away.And if you want to be a plumber, get an apprenticeship—don’t pay for a trade school!

My hard-won PhD is from Harvard, not Switzerland. And I have two cancer immunotherapy patents!

Well goodie for you. Harvard can do its own research using its own money, not mine.

ALL the new drugs approved in recent years were developed using NIH or NSF grants!

That’s originally government money!

If you don’t want any new drugs for cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, ALS, cardiovascular disease, or you want many fewer drugs developed in China, Europe, etc. just keep your ignorance-based attitude!

Remember—ignorance causes Alzheimer’s!
