Harvard universities and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) asked a federal court on Wednesday to block the Trump government's decision to revoke visas for foreign students whose courses will remain virtual in September.
"We will defend this case with determination to allow our foreign students - and foreign students from all universities in the country - to continue their studies without risking expulsion," said Harvard President Lawrence Bacow in a tweet announcing this action recorded in Boston federal court.
On Monday, ICE announced that international students will not be allowed to stay in the country if they attend institutions, like Harvard, that are holding courses online this fall. (1/6)
