A federal court in Boston has temporarily blocked US President Donald Trump's latest attempt to ban international students from enrolling at Harvard University. This was reported on June 5 by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

"District Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which prohibits it from "implementing, establishing, maintaining, enforcing, or giving effect" to Trump's executive order issued late on Wednesday, which prohibited foreign citizens from entering the United States to study at Harvard," the statement said. in the material.

Harvard said in a court document that the administration's actions were "part of a concerted and escalating campaign of retaliation by the government, clearly in retaliation for the university's exercise of its First Amendment rights." It clarifies that it guarantees that Congress will not pass laws that restrict freedom of speech, the press, and the right of the people to assemble peacefully and petition the government to address complaints.
