"Judge Slaps Down Trump’s Foreign Student Crackdown in Scorched-Earth Ruling"
Quote:
A federal judge in California has blocked the Trump administration’s move to revoke the legal statuses of thousands of international students across nationwide universities.
The injunction—which also stops the administration from arresting or detaining foreign-born students on the basis of immigration status—comes after the Trump administration revoked and then reinstated the legal status of 4,700 international students with little explanation beginning in March, NBC News reported.
District Judge Jeffrey White, nominated by President George W. Bush, blasted Trump officials for having “wreaked havoc” on students’ lives on Thursday. In his ruling, he wrote that the injunction should give the plaintiffs a “measure of stability and certainty that they will be able to continue their studies or their employment without the threat of re-termination hanging over their heads.”

Federal judge blocks Trump administration from barring foreign student enrollment at Harvard"
Quote:
A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from cutting off Harvard's enrollment of foreign students, an action the Ivy League school decried as unconstitutional retaliation for defying the White House’s political demands.
In its lawsuit filed earlier Friday in federal court in Boston, Harvard said the government’s action violates the First Amendment and will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.”
“With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” Harvard said in its suit. “Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard.”
