💨 Abstract

A federal judge, Allison Burroughs, indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to prevent Harvard University from hosting thousands of international students. Judge Burroughs ruled that Trump's proclamation violated Harvard's constitutional protections and was part of a retaliatory campaign. The White House cited security concerns, claiming Harvard inadequately vetted foreign students. Burroughs emphasized the importance of protecting fundamental rights like freedom of thought and expression, which she argued Trump's actions threatened.
