A federal judge has extended an injunction on the Trump Administration's attempt to halt Harvard's student visa program.

Harvard University welcomed a partial legal victory after a federal judge extended an order blocking the Trump administration from revoking international student visas at the school. The administration wants direct oversight over Harvard’s curriculum,

A federal judge said she would issue a temporary order that would prevent the Trump administration from blocking the school’s ability to enroll international students.

The administration’s action was illegal and would cause irreparable harm, because about a quarter of Harvard students are from other countries, lawyers argued.

Days after his administration moved to stop Harvard University from enrolling foreign students, President Trump said at a news conference Wednesday that the Ivy League college should set a limit for how many international students it accepts.

Harvard University held its commencement ceremony today as a federal district judge said she will issue a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from making changes to Harvard’s student visa program indefinitely.

If the Trump administration succeeds in barring international students from enrolling at Harvard, it will benefit U.S. competitors such as China, experts say.
