The University of Harvard sued to prevent Trump’s administration from preventing her international students from entering the US and adding to the legal battle between government and school.
On Thursday, Harvard asked the judge to immediately stop President Donald Trump’s statement that foreign students of the university would no longer be able to join the country. The amended action extends to one university filed on May 23 for further US efforts to prevent Harvard to prevent international students.
Trump said on Wednesday that Harvard’s refusal to provide records of international students’ offense is the risk of national security. His executive event blocked Harvard’s foreign students and research workers in entering the country. Last month, the administration abolished the ability of the school to sponsor its visas.
“We hope the court will act quickly,” said Harvard President Alan Garber. “While the court is considering our request, emergency plans are evolving to ensure that international students and scientists can continue working on Harvard this summer and during the upcoming academic year.”
Trump’s statement further escalated his dispute with the oldest and richest American university, where foreign students make up 27% of the campus population. Harvard also sued more than $ 2.6 billion in federal financing.
Both litigation claims that Trump against Harvard illegally retaliate and violates the rights to the freedom of the school because his wishes were not observed. The White House and the Ministry of Internal Security did not respond to the reports looking for comment immediately.
Trump’s actions are “part of a joint and escalating campaign of retaliation by the government in clear retribution for Harvard’s rights to perform her first amendment to reject the government’s requirements to control the administration of Harvard, the curriculum and” ideology “of their faculties and students,” lawyers said in the Boston Federal court.
Trump’s order claims that Harvard is a “already trustworthy manager of international student and exchange visitors”, accusing the school that it does not deal with violations of behavior and increase the “level of violent crime” on the campus. He also criticizes Harvard’s researchers for partnership with Chinese colleagues in a way that could support military modernization efforts.
The announcement places a six -month suspension on international students and the exchange of visitors trying to research. It also directs Foreign Minister Marco Rubio to review whether the visa of existing foreigners should be canceled on Harvard. The US would be an exception to “any alien whose entry would be in the national interest”, according to the statement.
The university stated that it was in regular contact with DHS and provided legally the required data and other disciplinary information on foreign students.
US District Judge Allison Burroughs temporarily forbade the government to cancel Harvard’s participation in her program of students and exchange visitor, which is operated by the Ministry of Internal Security.
Harvard’s more than 7,000 students and researchers organizing visas “became pawns in the government escalating campaign of retaliation”, the university lawyers said in court proceedings. “The announcement is a patent effort to terminate the order of this court.”
Harvard’s president of the student body, Abdullah Shahid Sial, left home to Pakistan after the school year. Now, whether it returns to the campus for its junior year, is “in the hands of US immigration authorities”.
“I think Trump’s administration has done a very good job for international students to feel unwelcome,” Sial, 20. “I feel unwelcome.”
If the judge blocks Trump’s latest directive, the case could eventually end up in the Supreme Court. In 2018, the High Court ruled that the President was to reduce the power to limit the entry into the country. This decision 5-4 confirmed Trump’s ban on traveling, which banned people from the group of mostly Muslim countries.
The President tried to transform Harvard’s policies into a wide range of questions, including admission and faculty hired practices, quoting Pro-Palestinian protests and incidents of anti-Semitism that swung the Hamas attacks by Hamas’s 2023 on Israel.
Trump said he wanted to limit the registration of Harvard’s foreign student to 15%, cancel the tax exempt status and cancel the remaining federal contracts.
In the next Wednesday event against the universities, Trump’s administration announced that she was asking the agency to cancel the accreditation of Columbia University.
The case is Harvard v. The Ministry of Internal Security, 25-CV-11472, US District Court, District of Massachusetts.
