A federal judge has temporarily stopped the Trump administration from canceling Harvard University’s student visa programs in a bid to “preserve the status quo.”

From Fox News:
Harvard filed suit against the Trump administration over the policy, and a judge granted its request for a temporary restraining order to preserve status quo while the case plays out in court.
Judge Allison Burroughs, a 2014 Obama appointee, set a hearing for 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday in Boston federal court.
Harvard said the policy will affect more than 7,000 visa holders — nearly a quarter of the student body — and is a “blatant violation of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act,” per its court filing.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) moved to terminate the program after Harvard allegedly failed to provide it with the extensive behavioral records of student visa holders the department requested. DHS offered Harvard 72 hours on Thursday to come into compliance with the request and re-enter into the visa program.
This is part of the larger judicial pushback against President Trump, and Harvard’s lawsuit is only the latest attempt to “kneecap the President’s constitutionally vested powers under Article II,” according to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
Considering this lawsuit is being played out in Boston, we may see a final ruling against the President. There is a chance this case will join the growing list of anti-Trump lawsuits before the Supreme Court, though even the high court’s rulings have been hit-or-miss in recent weeks.
For now, let’s pray. Let’s pray for an end to these senseless attacks against our President, and let’s pray for accountability and reform in Harvard.

I have read Article II in the Constitution. I do not see where this applies. Would someone care to enlighten me? Certainly the behavior of foreign students in the U.S. is a concern, and should be looked into. The issue seems to be Harvard’s willingness to do this. I pray that this will be handled in the best way for our country.
This is absolutely criminal from this Judge. Legal immigrants have to go through an extreme security clearances and proofs for a long time before they can receive even a green card , especially after the 9/11.
There has to be a justice and respect for this system , and to begin from the universities where this horrow is increasing. It will be then justice to all , and specially to the good students who can be able to STUDY in the universities without this terror.
Harvard is out of compliance, and in so being, is allowing dangerous ideology to fester and grow. Universities, especially such liberal ones, instead of aiming to produce well educated, well rounded, career-minded citizens, have become a hotbed of anti-American, anti-Israel hatred and rhetoric. Having a student body composed of 25% aliens – what’s that about, other than financial gain? Why this huge number? And are they vetted for political extremism before entering one of our most prestigious universities? And what is the vetting process for their professors?
Praying for a Divine Intervention that will end the law fare, and for God to keep our President safe. 9Also Praying the work that God sent him to Washington to do will no longer be hindered by radicals. Amen
Lord, I pray, in the name of Jesus, and rebuke any power, contract, scheme or strategy of the enemy being used to undermine our nation. I pray that believers within your Church and all people would have eyes of enlightenment to see the spiritual battle st hand. I pray that every concerned individual would pray and rise up to follow You in righteousness and fear of God. I pray that all funds to all these universities and institutions would be cut off by donors and dried up until they return to the Biblically based charters under which they started. Thank you God for the honorable founders who sought to give students a godly education. May those intentions be restored by your mighty hand of justice. Thank you for raising up a new generation of God fearing young people to lead a revival of holiness. Thank you for your mercy in our nation Lord.

These students being affected by Trumps order are not US Citizens and therefore are not eligible to the rights that are granted to US Citizens. They are guests in our country and should behave like guests or get out. They have no right to abuse our laws and hospitality. Send them home now.
