Harvard University is fighting a legal battle against President Trump's administration over a proclamation that bars foreign nationals from studying at the prestigious institution. The university argues it violates their First Amendment rights and is retaliatory.

Harvard is seeking an order that would allow student visa holders to enter the country to study there while the university weighs its legal battle in court against Trump’s directive to block their enrollment.

A federal judge is set to consider on Monday whether to extend an order blocking President Donald Trump's plan to bar foreign nationals from entering the United States to study at Harvard University.
