Harvard gets immediate TRO on international students [View all]

Already! Really glad to see judges are figuring out that stall and delay is part of this administration’s strategy. It’s always been Traitor’s strategy which Pam Bondi adopted. Im heartened to see judges pushing back so rapidly.

Hours after Harvard University sued the Trump administration for revoking its ability to enroll international students, a federal judge temporarily barred the Department of Homeland Security from allowing the change to take effect.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, a Barack Obama appointee, granted the Ivy League school's request for a temporary restraining order on May 23.
