That Didn't Take Long—Obama-Appointed Judge Leaps in to Rule on Trump's Actions Against Harvard

Obama-Appointed Judge Quickly Steps In to Address Trump's Move Against Harvard

I am considering programming a macro that, upon pressing a specific key combination such as CTRL-F3, would instantly write out, “a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on [DAY OF THE WEEK] stopping Donald Trump from implementing his directive on [SPECIFIC TRUMP ACTION].”

What a timesaver that would be, because at this point I’m typing a version of that every day.

As anticipated, a judge has decisively intervened to stop the Trump administration from canceling the visas of international students at Harvard University:

A court has temporarily paused the Trump administration’s move to cancel Harvard’s student visa program.

Harvard initiated a legal challenge against the Trump administration concerning this policy, and a judge approved its motion for a temporary restraining order to maintain the current situation while the legal proceedings continue. 

Judge Allison Burroughs, a 2014 Obama appointee, set a hearing for 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday in Boston federal court. 

This is a rare bit of positive news for the Ivy League school:
