BOSTON ¨C A U.S. federal judge said on Thursday she would extend an order blocking President Donald Trump¡¯s administration from immediately revoking Harvard University¡¯s ability to enroll international students, a victory for the Ivy League school that is entangled in multiple battles with the administration.
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston announced her intention to issue a preliminary injunction, six days after she first granted Harvard a temporary order blocking the Trump administration¡¯s move.
As the court hearing unfolded on Thursday morning, thousands of Harvard students were receiving their degrees at the school¡¯s commencement ceremony on campus about 8 kilometers away.
