Overview

  • On June 23, US District Judge Allison Burroughs extended a preliminary injunction that bars enforcement of President Trump’s June 4 proclamation and preserves Harvard’s SEVP certification
  • The administration revoked Harvard’s SEVP certification on May 22 and then issued a presidential proclamation barring new international students over security concerns related to antisemitism and foreign influence
  • Harvard filed lawsuits against the Department of Homeland Security and the White House, arguing the actions violate its First Amendment rights and amount to unlawful retaliation
  • Harvard’s roughly 6,800 international students, representing 27 percent of its enrollment, can continue their studies and contribute to research and the local economy under the court’s order
  • Harvard and the Trump administration are in reported settlement talks that President Trump says could yield a deal in the coming week
