A federal judge has just halted President Trump’s proclamation which blocked foreign students from attending Harvard, and this comes just hours after Harvard filed a lawsuit.

The judge is an Obama appointee.

Here’s more from CNN:

A federal judge has halted President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to block international students from coming to Harvard University.

The temporary restraining order issued late Thursday by US District Judge Allison Burroughs comes hours after the university urged the judge to step in on an emergency basis to block a proclamation Trump signed a day earlier that suspends international visas for new students at the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university. Foreign students make up roughly a quarter of the school’s student body.

The brief order from Burroughs said that if she didn’t intervene now, the school would “sustain immediate and irreparable injury before there is an opportunity to hear from all parties” over the challenge to Trump’s edict. The judge said her order “shall remain in effect until further order of this Court.”

Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, set a hearing for mid-June to hear arguments over whether she should block Trump’s proclamation indefinitely.

The judge has previously halted other efforts by the administration to ban Harvard from hosting international students.

This was so predictable. Let’s hope an appeal won’t fall on deaf ears.
