Legal blow for Trump as judge blocks ban on Harvard’s foreign students
Harvard student from Wales feels ‘dehumanised’ after Trump's block on international students
A judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from barring international students from entering the US to study at Harvard University over alleged “national security” concerns.
Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order, saying that Trump's directive would cause "immediate and irreparable injury" before the courts could review the case.
Trump claimed Harvard refused to provide information about "known illegal activity" on campus allegedly committed by international students.
Harvard has filed a claim stating that Trump violated federal law by failing to back up his allegations about national security.
University spokesperson Jason Newton says Harvard will continue to protect its international students.
