A federal judge upheld a court order blocking President Donald Trump from stripping Harvard University of its ability to sponsor international student visas.
U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs on Thursday extended her earlier restraining order, which blocks the Trump administration from revoking Harvard’s certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, or SEVP. That certification allows colleges to sponsor international students for U.S. visas during their enrollment.
Burroughs, an Obama appointee, said she would preserve the status quo while both sides confer and submit either a joint proposed preliminary injunction order or individual proposed orders.
But the update from the court is not a loss for the Trump administration — at least not yet.
