According to a report by Reuters, hours after Harvard University filed an appeal, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order late on June 5, preventing the Trump administration from imposing visa restrictions on international students at Harvard University. The day before, Trump had signed an executive order prohibiting international students from entering the United States with visas sponsored by Harvard University. Judge Burroughs ruled that Trump's instruction to ban foreign citizens from entering the United States to study at Harvard for the next six months would cause "irreparable harm" before the court had the opportunity to review the case. The temporary restraining order will prevent Trump's executive order from taking effect until the court further reviews the escalating dispute between both parties. On June 4 local time, Trump signed an executive order under the pretext of safeguarding national security to restrict Harvard University's international student visas, suspending the entry of foreign citizens studying or participating in exchange programs at Harvard University. The ban is initially set for six months but may be extended. Trump also instructed the U.S. Department of State to consider revoking academic or exchange visas for any Harvard students who meet the standards.

Local students protested against recent sanctions imposed by Trump on Harvard University on May 27. Associated Press.

Harvard University filed a complaint on the 5th, accusing the Trump administration of conducting "illegal retaliation" against the university, violating previous court rulings, and requesting immediate court judgment to halt the enforcement of the executive order. "This executive order deprives thousands of Harvard students of the right to come to the United States to pursue their dreams and deprives Harvard of the right to educate them. Without international students, Harvard is no longer Harvard," the university stated in its lawsuit documents. In addition to halting the executive order, Burroughs announced on the 5th that the court will extend the initial temporary restraining order granted to Harvard University on May 23 to prevent the Trump administration from banning Harvard University from admitting foreign students. On May 22 local time, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the cancellation of Harvard University's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) qualification, prohibiting the university from accepting international students. On May 23, Harvard University sued the Trump administration, stating in the lawsuit that this policy was "blatantly unconstitutional." That same day, Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order to halt the Trump administration's actions. On May 29 local time, Burroughs stated at the hearing that the ban on the Trump administration's policy preventing Harvard University from admitting foreign students will be extended "indefinitely," requiring the "status quo" to allow Harvard University to continue accepting international students with visas.
