A federal judge has extended an injunction on the Trump Administration's attempt to halt Harvard's student visa program.
A federal judge said she would issue a temporary order that would prevent the Trump administration from blocking the school’s ability to enroll international students.
“Look, Harvard has been a disaster,” Trump said Wednesday at the swearing-in ceremony of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, accusing the administrators of being “totally antisemitic” over their handling of last year’s Gaza demonstrations.

The larger legal battle between Harvard and the Trump administration could raise questions of retaliation versus executive authority.
