WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from cutting off Harvard’s enrollment of foreign students, an action the Ivy League school decried as unconstitutional retaliation for defying the White House’s political demands.

In its lawsuit filed earlier Friday in federal court in Boston, Harvard said the government’s action violates the First Amendment and will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.”

“With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” Harvard said in its suit. “Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard.”

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs puts the sanction against Harvard on hold, pending the lawsuit.

FWIW, good, but I suspect that the country is passing the point where court rulings can actually stop him. We are careening towards autocracy.

You could be right. But giving up would be the wrong thing to do. We need to double down and fight till the end.

Right. So, what else is new?

This judicial activism and opposition was planned way before Trump won his election.

I worry that in violation of the court order Trump cancels the student visas and has ICE goons start arresting students from Asia, Europe, Canada and yes even Israel.

Doesn't it get old to scream "activist" every time something happens that you don't like?

Go ahead. I'll probably vote if it still means anything in 2026. Other than that, I'll go to work and pay bills as best I can.

I'm not sure what good worrying about it will do. He'll do anything he wants either way.

You're here. That's something at least. We all do what little parts we can.

He might be involved is some, but it's not just him.

Here's what Copilot says...

who is paying for all the lawsuits against the trump administration

The funding for lawsuits against the Trump administration comes from various sources, including state governments, cities, nonprofit organizations, and private entities. For example, Denver has joined lawsuits challenging federal funding cuts, and multiple states have sued over budget freezes2. Additionally, universities like Harvard have filed lawsuits over revoked federal funding.
Many of these legal challenges are backed by advocacy groups and legal organizations that raise funds through donations and grants. Some lawsuits are also supported by congressional appropriations meant to reimburse cities for costs incurred due to federal policies​

Here are a couple articles on the subject...

It feels like judges should definitely be very active in making sure the executive follows the law and the constitution.

It seems that Mycroft has a rather limited political vocabulary! I sometimes wonder whether he just has preprepared phrases saved in his computer to form his replies from. i.e. "Press Alt/A" for the judicial activism words. Maybe someone else even programmed all that for him?

so where was their legal mistake in the ruling?

just whining about rulings you dont like and claiming they are "judicial activism" would be stupid if you dont have a solid legal objection to them

The Democrats will retake congress in 2027, and Trump's corrupt ass will be gone.

This isn't Harvard or a graduate student at any American university, but I'll note it anyway: recently, a neurologist was informed he is being deported to Jordan (his home country). No reason.

It makes no sense. And it restricts Americans' access to medical care.

Yeah. In fact it was planned in the 1780’s. You see the Founders wanted an Executive Branch to be limited in power and scope. Damn that Constitution!

But when GOP / trump "activist groups", individuals, entities "prepare for legal battles", it's a good thing?

I, too, would like @Mycroft to spell out how the judge's ruling is in error.
