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 temporary injunction remains in force. Harvard hoped the judge would issue a more lasting block of the president’s proclamation against international students’ attending the university.

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.
