A judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration's plan to strip Harvard University of its ability to enrol foreign students.

The ruling came after Harvard filed a lawsuit - the latest escalation of a dispute between the White House and one of America's most prestigious institutions.

US District Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order in a short ruling issued on Friday.

The order pauses a move that the Department of Homeland Security made on Thursday to revoke Harvard's access to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program - a government database that manages foreign students.

This has been a favorite ploy of the GOP for decades. If they get elected they put in some blatantly illegal/unConstitutional law and then force the opposition to pay to fight it. Because the GOP is the 'government' they can force the taxpayers to subsidize the circus while the Left has to bleed money to pay for lawyers.

But they said the democrats were weaponizing the justice system! Definitely not them, because they never lie.

It's so easy to parse what they say if you use 1984 rules. Reverse everything.

"Democrats are cheating the vote!" => "We are"

"Democrats are trafficking children and drinking their blood!" => "We are"

"Democrats are letting gangs into the country!" => "We are"
