A federal judge on Friday blocked US President Donald Trump's bid to keep Harvard from hosting foreign students. In reaction to the judge's Friday ruling, a Harvard spokesperson said, "The Court order allows Harvard to continue enrolling international students and scholars while the case moves forward. Harvard will continue to defend its rights - and the rights of its students and scholars."

Harvard had sued the Department of Homeland Security in May after the agency withdrew the school's certification to host foreign students and issue paperwork for their visa. New foreign students would have been barred from coming to Harvard.
