Harvard Secures Temporary Relief for International Students Amid Policy Dispute

The Trump administration's recent revocation of Harvard University's certification to enroll international students has caused significant concern among its approximately 6,800 foreign students, including 788 from India.

Harvard immediately filed a lawsuit challenging the Department of Homeland Security’s action, calling it unconstitutional and devastating for students and the university.

In response, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the ban, offering short-term relief while hearings are scheduled for May 27 and 29.

Until a final court decision, Indian and other affected students can remain at Harvard, but their long-term status depends on the lawsuit’s outcome.
