Celebrate the Ruling That Keeps Harvard Open to the World

Here’s a big win for students, education, and international cooperation: A federal judge has extended the order blocking the Trump administration’s attempt to revoke Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students.

The Trump administration’s move was a clear act of political retaliation — threatening the legal status of thousands of students and scholars just days before Harvard’s graduation. But thanks to U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs, that revocation remains on hold while the case continues.

This ruling is more than a procedural delay — it’s a strong statement that academic freedom, global education, and the rights of international students matter. These students are a vital part of Harvard’s community and the broader American academic landscape. Their presence strengthens innovation, diplomacy, and mutual understanding around the world.

Add your name to thank Judge Burroughs for defending international education, rejecting political intimidation, and keeping America’s doors open to the brightest minds across the globe.
