Die US-Eliteuniversität Harvard klagt gegen die von Präsident Trump angekündigten Einreiseverbote für neue ausländische Studenten. Harvard wirft der Trump-Regierung eine "konzertierte und eskalierende Vergeltungskampagne" vor.

Overview

  • Judge Allison D. Burroughs granted a preliminary injunction against the six-month visa ban, ensuring current processing of student visas for Harvard’s international cohort.
  • The Trump administration justified the ban on grounds of national security and alleged nondisclosure of foreign student activities to the Department of Homeland Security.
  • Harvard expanded its lawsuit to include the latest visa restrictions, accusing the White House of an escalating campaign to punish the university for resisting federal oversight.
  • This ruling follows prior actions in the dispute, including cuts to billions in federal funding and efforts to revoke Harvard’s SEVP certification.
  • Additional court hearings are scheduled as the university and administration battle over academic freedom, institutional autonomy and federal policy enforcement.
