NEW YORK: A judge temporarily suspended on Friday the Trump administration's move to block Harvard from enrolling and hosting foreign students after the prestigious university sued, calling the action unconstitutional.
On Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll foreign nationals, throwing the future of thousands of students and the lucrative income stream they provide into doubt.
But Harvard sued and Massachusetts district judge Allison Burroughs ordered that 'The Trump administration is hereby enjoined from implementing... the revocation of Plaintiff's SEVP (Student and Exchange Visitor Programme) certification.'
There will be an injunction hearing on May 29, a court filing showed. — DETAILS on P6
