Federal court stops Trump's entry stop for Harvard students!

Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA - A federal court in the United States has initially blocked the entry stop announced by President Donald Trump for foreign nationals who want to study on Harvard. Judge Allison D. Burroughs decided that the applicable entry requirements must be maintained up to a hearing in court. In view of Harvard's arguments, this happened, which explained that the university would otherwise "suffer an immediate and non -resolving damage". The decision applies until a further order of the court.

In her complaint, Harvard contested Trump's announcement and recently expanded it. The US government's claim that the entry of foreign students is "harmful to the interests of the United States" is critical. Harvard has rejected the argument as unjustified and unfounded because the people concerned may continue to enter as long as they do not want to study at the university. In addition, the Trump government was accused of leading a "concerted and escalating retaliation campaign".

reaction of the Trump government and the allegations

President Trump had announced the ban on entry for six months. It should affect people who want to enter Harvard exclusively or mainly for studying or exchange program. The US state thus continues measures to regulate the influence of foreign students at universities. In this context, the US State Department ordered Visa from already to Harvard students particularly thoroughly checked.

Trump has defamed Harvard as a "anti -Semitic, left -wing extremist institution" and justifies his measures with the behavior of the university, which he sees as unsuitable for foreign students and researchers. In addition, the government plans to delete federal grants in billions of billions for Harvard. Harvard reacted to this by not abolishing his diversity programs and continues to proceed legally against the procedure of the US government.

effects and next steps

The decision of judge Burroughs is temporary and does not yet represent a final judgment. It remains to be seen how the hearing and the further procedure will be. If the hearing is decided in favor of Harvard, the directions for international students at the renowned university could be normalized again. In May the judge had already decided in favor of Harvard, which initially stopped the exclusion of foreign students.

The entire situation is part of a larger political agenda of President Trump, which aims to enforce changes to leading universities such as Harvard. Universities that are too liberal from the perspective of the government see themselves under pressure to fundamentally rethink their dealings with international relations and topics such as anti -Semitism.
