Judge extends order suspending Trump’s block on Harvard’s incoming foreign students
President Donald Trump’s order to block incoming foreign students from attending Harvard University will remain on hold temporarily. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston on Monday extended a temporary restraining order on Trump’s proclamation until June 23 while she weighs Harvard’s request for a preliminary injunction. Burroughs made the decision at a hearing over Harvard’s request, which Trump’s Republican administration opposed. Burroughs granted the initial restraining order June 5, and it had been set to expire Thursday. Trump previously tried to revoke Harvard’s ability to host foreign students on its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The judge has temporarily blocked that, too. Harvard’s lawyer says Trump is using its international students as “pawns.”
