Judge Blocks Trump Ban on Harvard International Students

Princess Elisabeth of Belgium, Harvard graduate student and heir to the throne, is among more than 6,800 international students affected after the Trump administration revoked Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students, citing concerns over violence, antisemitism, and alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has ordered these students to transfer or risk losing their legal status. The Belgian Royal Palace is monitoring the situation, but the impact on Princess Elisabeth remains uncertain. Harvard has sued the administration, calling the ban unlawful and retaliatory, and a federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the policy for now. University officials have warned of 'devastating' consequences for students and the institution. The situation remains unresolved as legal proceedings continue.
