What A... Novel Idea?! Noem / Miller / Rubio Must Follow The Clear, Well-Settled Federal Law -- On Student Visas -- At Harvard, And Nationwide.


On Friday night, the able USDC Judge Burroughs, in Boston, ordered Tangerine 2.0 forces to report by this afternoon, on all the action items they'd undertaken to comply with the preliminary injunction entered against violating federal law, when revoking (or not issuing) various student visas.

Here's that report -- from these jokers. Do read it all, but here's a bit:

. . .Defendants have drafted guidance since the Court entered the preliminary injunction on June 20, 2025. ECF 73. This guidance informs employees and supervisors responsible for SEVP certifications, SEVIS access, Exchange Visitor Program designation, and F and J visas of the preliminary injunction and to comply with its terms. Defendants have also made clear that any future revocations of Harvard’s SEVP certification, SEVIS access, or Exchange Visitor Program designation must be done through the regulatory procedures under C.F.R. §§ 214.3 and 214.4 or in 22 C.F.R. Part 62.

In particular, the Department of State is issuing additional guidance today to all consulates, embassies, field offices, and others with responsibility for F and J visas that determinations that a visa holder has failed to maintain nonimmigrant status or decisions to take any adverse action with respect to a visa applicant or holder cannot be based on the May 22, 2025 revocation of Harvard’s SEVP certification or Exchange Visitor Program designation. The Department of Homeland Security’s relevant components (ICE, CBP, and USCIS) have issued guidance to their employees, including at field offices and ports of entry, to ensure no one is removed, has adverse visa determination, or is denied admission based on the revocation of Harvard’s SEVP certification and Exchange Visitor Program designation. DHS is currently reviewing Harvard’s SEVP compliance through the procedures in 8 C.F.R. §§ 214.3 and 214.4. . . .


Onward -- bit by bit -- the rule of law is. . . going to prevail, over the rule of small handed men.
