Judge blocks Trump’s foreign student ban at Harvard University
A federal judge has extended an order that would prevent the Trump administration from revoking foreign students at Harvard University.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said at a White House press conference on May 30 that he hopes foreign students will be able to study in the US despite a continuing feud with Harvard University.
A federal judge on May 23 temporarily suspended the administration’s efforts to ban universities from registering international students. A judge on May 29 said she would suspend policy for a long period of time.
“We want to have great students here. We don’t want students causing trouble. We want students. We want students. We want students. We want foreign students,” Trump told reporters at a press conference.
Trump and his administration’s members claim that Harvard created an anti-Semitic campus environment after protesting on campus in response to the Israel-Hamas war.
On May 25, Trump ordered Harvard to hand over the “names and nations” of all international students registered with the university in a post about True Society.
Another major aspect of the Trump administration’s battle with Harvard University is surrounding federal fundraising. Since mid-April, the White House has frozen billions of dollars in school federal research grants.
“I want to see a lot of money coming into trade schools…and it was wasted in places like Harvard,” Trump said.
