A federal judge has blocked a Trump administration decision to revoke Harvard University's ability to enroll international students.

The temporary restraining order stops the government from pulling Harvard's certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, which allows the school to sponsor international students as they obtain visas to study in the U.S.

Harvard filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts earlier Friday. In its lawsuit, Harvard said the government's action violates the First Amendment and will have an ``immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.''
