I predict that the administration will deny entry to said international students in defiance of the judge’s orders.

And the students that get past that line of defense will simply get a visit from ICE.

They don't have to send that many El Salvador to send a message.

That perspective seems too limited. Why not simply ignore the judge's order altogether?

Why, do they have a history of doing that?

I was referring to the "in defiance of court order", and I was being sarcastic. Sorry, thought it would be obvious. Yes, they have a history of doing that.

This sounds like the order was paused while they go through court.

The reality however is that presidents have very broad power to restrict the ingress of aliens into the country, and so unless there is some new legal wordplay and generous judges I don't see Harvard winning this one. I really wish they'd just get rid of their DEI program and stop playing chicken with their students futures.

Unrelated but I wonder what will happen to Harvard's US News ranking in a year or two
