Harvard student visa ban effort by Trump unlawful, says US judge

A US federal judge has blocked President Trump's latest attempt to bar foreign students from attending Harvard University, ruling that the administration overstepped legal authority. The decision protects the status of over 7,000 international students while a broader lawsuit proceeds. Harvard claims the government's move was retaliation after rejecting demands to change its policies. The case highlights tensions between academic freedom and federal immigration actions under the Trump administration, with major implications for US higher education.
