A federal judge said on Monday that she would issue a brief extension of an order temporarily blocking President Donald Trump's plan to bar foreign nationals from entering the U.S. to study at Harvard University while she decides whether to issue a longer-term injunction.

Harvard is seeking an order that would allow student visa holders to enter the country while the university weighs its legal battle against Trump’s directive.

The federal judge in the case says she hopes to decide next week on whether to block indefinitely President Trump's June 4th order on Harvard's international students.
