Harvard University Sues Trump Administration Over Ban on Enrolling Foreign Students
IBL News | New York
Harvard University on Friday sued the Trump administration over its ban on enrolling foreign students, calling it unconstitutional retaliation.
On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security said it would block international students from attending the nation’s oldest university.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Boston, Harvard said the government’s action violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution and will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders”.
The Ivy League institution enrolls almost 6,800 foreign students at its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Most are graduate students, and they come from more than 100 countries.
The Department of Homeland Security gave Harvard 72 hours to turn over all documents on all international students’ disciplinary records and paper, audio, or video records on protest activity over the past five years to have the “opportunity” to have its eligibility to enroll foreign students reinstated.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology extended an open invitation to Harvard international students and those accepted in response to the action against Harvard.
The administration’s action and Harvard’s response signified a dramatic escalation of the battle between the administration and Harvard.
Meanwhile, a federal judge—Boston judge Allison D. Burroughs—halted temporarily Trump’s administration’s effort to bar international students at Harvard, issuing a temporary restraining order against the federal edict. The judge agreed that Harvard had shown that its implementation would cause “immediate and irreparable injury” to the university.
The move froze the Trump administration’s attempts against Harvard.

Google Now Offers AI Mode to Every Search User In The U.S.
IBL News | New York
Google CEO Sundar Pichai and his executives presented at the company’s I/O 2025 event new ways to bring users the web intermediated through a series of AI agents, reviewing the concept of Search, based on bringing people from the web for any given search query.
“We believe AI will be the most powerful engine for discovery that the web has ever seen,” said Google’s VP of Search, Liz Reid, onstage at I/O.
Essentially, the company suggests that the future of the web, and the company, involves AI agents fetching information from the web and presenting it to users in whatever way they’d like.
At the I/O 2025, the largest announcement was that Google now offers AI mode to every Search user in the U.S.
Users will be able to converse with an AI agent that will visit web pages, do summaries, and help them shop.
Google also announced on Tuesday that the SDK for Gemini models will now natively support Anthropic’s MCP, an increasingly popular standard for connecting agents to data sources across the internet.
On Wednesday, Google detailed its plans to bring ads to AI Mode, which lets Google Search users ask a question and get an AI-generated response, with the ability to go deeper through follow-up questions and links to websites.
Perplexity and several of Google’s rivals have experimented with ads in their AI products.
