The judge is expected to hear arguments from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), who are seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent the administration from enforcing the rule. The schools argue that the policy would harm international students and their ability to continue their education in the U.S. amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Trump administration argues that the rule is necessary to protect American jobs amid high unemployment rates. However, critics argue that the move is a political ploy to pressure universities to reopen for in-person classes. The case has sparked widespread backlash, with over 200 universities, including Ivy League schools, filing a brief in support of Harvard and MIT's request. The judge's decision could have a significant impact on the thousands of international students who are already in the U.S. and those who are planning to come to the country for the upcoming fall semester. The ruling will also have implications for universities, who rely on the tuition fees paid by international students. This case is just one of many legal battles that have arisen from the Trump administration's immigration policies. The judge's decision will be closely watched as it could set a precedent for future challenges to the administration's immigration actions. The outcome of this case will have a tremendous impact on the international student community and the future of higher education in the U.S. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story."
