US judge extends block on Harvard foreign student ban
President Donald Trump’s order to block incoming foreign students from attending Harvard University will remain on hold temporarily following a hearing Monday, when a lawyer for the Ivy League school said its students were being used as “pawns”.
US District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston extended a temporary restraining order on Trump’s proclamation until June 23 while she weighs Harvard’s request for a preliminary injunction.
Burroughs made the decision at a hearing over Harvard’s request, which Trump’s Republican administration opposed.
