The Spin

This was the right ruling. The mass termination of student visas, like the administration's attempt to ban Harvard from accepting foreign students, unconstitutionally restricts free speech for the students and the universities. The administration's actions will hurt the United States in the long run if the courts don't stop it.

This ruling couldn't be more wrong. This judge is hindering the Trump administration's ability to crack down on foreign students who align themselves with terrorists and antisemites. A visa is a privilege, and this administration will continue to do what it can to make sure those visas don't fall into the wrong hands.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 75% chance that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will revoke or suspend the SEVP certification for any Ivy League university before Sept. 1, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
