Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced Wednesday morning they have jointly filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over new rules barring international students from living in the U.S. while taking online courses.

On Monday, a division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that it will not permit international students on F-1 visas to take a full online course load in the fall while studying in the U.S.

The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to bar the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and ICE from enforcing such regulations on international students, reported student newspaper The Harvard Crimson.

MIT President L. Rafael Reif, in an email sent to the MIT community, said: "The announcement disrupts our international students' lives and jeopardizes their academic and research pursuits. ICE is unable to offer the most basic answers about how its policy will be interpreted or implemented."

Harvard University President Lawrence S. Bacow said the new order's cruelty is "surpassed only by its recklessness."

"We will pursue this case vigorously so that our international students – and international students at institutions across the country – can continue their studies without the threat of deportation," Bacow wrote in an email to affiliates.

Harvard has already announced plans to move all coursework in the fall semester online amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Trump is not being sued, it is his administration. Differentiate between the two.
