A federal judge said on Monday that she would issue a brief extension of President Donald Trump’s foreign nationals to temporarily stop foreign nationals to study at Harvard University, while deciding whether a long -term order should be issued.
US District Judge Elison Berros, at the end of the hearing in Boston in Harvard’s legal challenge, ordered a temporary prevention until June 23, in the legal challenge for sanctions, which expired Thursday. She said she wants to give herself more time to prepare for an order.
“We will get the opinion of it as soon as possible,” he said.
Harvard’s lawyer, Ian Greshingorn, told him that it was necessary to decide that the Trump administration could not implement its latest bid to reduce school capability to host international students.
The judge scheduled the hearing after temporarily issuing a ban on June 6, which prevented the administration from implementing the announcement, which Trump signed a day earlier. The preliminary order will provide long -term relief to Harvard.
Garshingorn argued that Trump has signed a declaration of retaliation against Harvard, which, under the first amendment of the US Constitution, violates the rights of his free speech, calling for the rule of the school’s school’s rule, curriculum and its faculty to violate its faculty.
“This announcement is a clear violation of the first amendment,” said Garshingorn.
In its recent academic year, about 6,800 international students were educated in Harvard, which made about 27 27 % of the population of the students of Mischites in Cambridge in Massachusetts. China and India are among the highest countries for these students.
The Trump administration has launched a multi -faceted attack on ancient and wealthy American university, which has frozen billions of dollars grant and other funds and proposed to abolish its tax exemption, which is leading to legal challenges.
Harvard has filed two separate cases before the boros, which are trying to prevent $ 2.5 billion in funding and prevent the Trump administration from preventing the ability of international students to go to university.
Homeland Security Secretary Christie Nim announced May 22 that his department was immediately canceling Harvard’s student and Exchange Visitor Program certification, which is a government mechanism that allows him to enter foreign students.
Its action was immediately blocked by bros. Although the Department of Homeland Security has then moved to challenging Harvard’s certificate through a long administrative process, Berros said at the May 29 hearing that it intended to issue a “broad” order to maintain the stagnation.
A week later, though, Trump signed his announcement, citing national security concerns that Harvard “is no longer a reliable responsibility for international student and exchange programs.”
The announcement suspended the entry of foreign nationals to study in Harvard or participated in the exchangers’ exchangers’ exchangers’ programs and instructed Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio to consider whether or not the international students who were already enrolled in Harvard.
Harvard has asked Democratic President Barack Obama to stop Trump’s directive from the bros.
In judicial papers, the Justice Department of Justice urged the broth to not mess with Trump’s announcement of the judge’s semi -actions, as he did not ban the current students and Trump relied on various legal authority for his order.
