On Thursday, Harvard University filed a legal case to issue US President Donald Trump’s ban on international students. The Ivy League university changed its petition and stated that it would request that the court stop enforcing it right away. In a letter to the school community, Harvard leader Alan M. Garber criticized our organization for enlisting foreign students and cooperating with different educational institutions around the world. We recently obtained a temporary restraining order to stop the Administration from robbing Harvard’s Student Exchange Visa Program ( SEVP ) certification, as you may well know. The statement from past night goes against that court order. We have amended our petition today and may ask the court to stop the proclamation’s protection. We anticipate the court to take action right away,” he continued. Additionally, the Harvard leader added that plans are being developed to allow foreign students and scholars to continue to work at Harvard this summer and throughout the upcoming academic year. The school administration will keep you informed about this preparing. Moreover, the Harvard International Office will be in contact with students and scholars who might be impacted by the declaration, which also went out last night, forbids citizens from visiting the United States from traveling there. Recent events have heightened the conflict between Trump and the school. Trump issued a law on Wednesday that would prevent Harvard’s foreign students from entering the country, potentially affecting thousands of students who will attend the Cambridge, Massachusetts college for summer and fall conditions. In a subsequent legal challenge, Harvard University questioned Trump’s use of federal law, which allowed him to restrain a” class of aliens” that he thought were in harm’s national interests. The university argued that only targeting students who are Harvard-bound does not constitute a” class of aliens.” So, the president’s actions are not intended to defend the “interests of the United States,” the university wrote. The government’s increased scrutiny of scholar visas has caused a lot of confusion. Before the judgement was reversed, thousands of students lost their temporary US residency permits earlier this spring. Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, just made the announcement to “aggressively withdraw” permits for Chinese learners.
