U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs during a hearing in Boston will weigh whether to issue an injunction barring Trump's administration from implementing his latest bid to curtail Harvard's ability to host international students while the university's lawsuit challenging the restrictions plays out.
China and India are among the top countries of origin for these students.
His administration has launched a multifront attack on the oldest and wealthiest U.S. university, freezing billions of dollars in grants and other funding and proposing to end its tax-exempt status, prompting a series of legal challenges.
It has filed two separate lawsuits before Burroughs seeking to unfreeze $2.5 billion in funding and to prevent Trump's administration from blocking the ability of international students to attend the university.
Her action was almost immediately blocked by Burroughs.
A week later, though, Trump signed his proclamation, which cited national security concerns to contend that Harvard is "no longer a trustworthy steward of international student and exchange visitor programs."
Harvard has asked Burroughs, an appointee of Democratic President Barack Obama, to block Trump's directive.
In court papers, the U.S. Justice Department urged Burroughs not to lump Trump's proclamation in with the judge's consideration of Noem's actions, as it did not ban existing students and Trump relied on different legal authority for his order.
