A proclamation issued by the White House late Wednesday sought to bar most new international students at Harvard from entering the country, and said existing foreign enrollees risked having their visas terminated.
Harvard quickly amended an existing complaint filed in federal court, saying: “This is not the Administration’s first attempt to sever Harvard from its international students.”
US District Judge Allison Burroughs on Thursday ruled the government cannot enforce Trump’s proclamation.
The same judge had already blocked Trump’s earlier effort to bar international students from enrolling at the storied university.
The government already cut around $3.2 billion of federal grants and contracts benefiting Harvard and pledged to exclude the Cambridge, Massachusetts, institution from any future federal funding.
Trump has also singled out international students at Harvard, who accounted for 27 percent of total enrollment in the 2024-2025 academic year and are a major source of income.
“The President’s actions thus are not undertaken to protect the ‘interests of the United States’ but instead to pursue a government vendetta against Harvard,“ it said.
Trump’s education secretary also threatened on Wednesday to strip Columbia University of its accreditation.
Unlike Harvard, several top institutions -- including Columbia -- have already bowed to far-reaching demands from the Trump administration.
