Harvard is seeking an order that would allow student visa holders to enter the country while the university weighs its legal battle against Trump’s directive.

A federal judge said on Monday that she would issue a brief extension of an order temporarily blocking President Donald Trump's plan to bar foreign nationals from entering the U.S. to study at Harvard University while she decides whether to issue a longer-term injunction.

The government asked a judge to vacate her temporary block on President Donald Trump’s proclamation banning international students from entering the United States on Harvard-sponsored visas in a memorandum submitted early Saturday morning.
