Harvard files complaint against Trump action blocking foreign students
Read Original Source
A federal judge late Thursday temporarily blocked President Trump's move to ban foreign students from traveling to the United States to attend Harvard University, hours after the Ivy League school called the policy illegal retaliation for Harvard's rejection of White House demands. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs granted Harvard's request for a temporary restraining order. In a brief ruling, Burroughs barred the Trump administration from implementing the new policy.
