Reactions and legal disputes
Trump has also tightened his campaign against the country’s most renowned university. He signed an order that prohibited foreign students in entering the USA for studying at Harvard University. The order entitled “Strengthening national security through measures against risks at Harvard University” explains that Harvard is “no longer a trustworthy administrator of international student and exchange programs”.

“Harvard will continue to protect his international students”
The university also responded to Trump’s arrangement on Wednesday evening. “This is another illegal retaliation step by the government, which violates Harvard’s rights from the first constitutional additive,” said a spokesman for the university in a statement. “Harvard will continue to protect his international students.”
Harvard has proven that it is ready to take Trump’s government to court for her measures. The courts are split in with regard to the president’s immigration policy. Several federal judges have blocked efforts to deport immigrants without proper procedures. However, the Supreme Court decided last week that the government may revoke the temporary protection status of over 500,000 immigrants. They can now be deported.
