A left-wing judge has temporarily paused the Trump administration's move to cancel Harvard's student visa program, which the university says would affect more than 7,000 visa holders.
Harvard filed suit against the Trump administration over the policy, and Obama appointed U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs recently granted its request for a temporary restraining order to preserve the status quo while the case plays out in court.
This prevents the government from pulling Harvard's certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program that allows the school to host international students with visas to study in the U.S.
The Department of Homeland Security contends Harvard is creating an unsafe campus environment by allowing "anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators" to assault Jewish students on campus. It also accuses the Ivy League school of coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party to host and train members of a Chinese paramilitary group as recently as 2024.
Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance, says prestigious schools like students who can pay their outrageously expensive tuitions, and they do not care whence the money comes.
"Our enemies across the sea figured this out, and so they send radical kids here and pay the whole way, and colleges love that," he reports. "The Communist Chinese and the Arabs both do this."
But he does not believe the school has the public's support.
"I think that the feeling here, even though this is sort of a left-wing area, is everybody's had enough of this stuff," Camenker submits. "The left wing supporting this stuff has just gone off the rails, and nobody cares what happens to Harvard now."
So Camenker thinks the case is on its way to the Supreme Court.
"The courts here are routinely overruled by the U.S. Supreme Court, often like 9-0, so I think the president will win in the end," he predicts.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wants Harvard and all universities that want to enjoy the privilege of enrolling foreign students to know that the Trump administration will "enforce the law and root out the evils of antisemitism in society and campuses."
At least a dozen Harvard students have had their authorization to study in the U.S. revoked over campus protest activity.
