Case Overview

The government appealed Judge Burrough's order granting a preliminary injunction preventing the revocation of Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification.


The Application

History

The district court found Harvard demonstrated likelihood of success challenging the threatened SEVP revocation and would suffer irreparable harm from losing its international student programs, warranting preliminary injunction. The government appealed, contesting the district court's preliminary injunction analysis and the underlying APA claims.

The Conclusion

The preliminary injunction remains in effect pending First Circuit review, preserving Harvard's SEVP certification and allowing continued international student enrollment while the merits of the revocation challenge are litigated.
