U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs extended the block she imposed last week with a temporary restraining order.

The restraining order allows Harvard to continue enrolling international students as a lawsuit proceeds.

Harvard sued the federal government on Friday after Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem revoked its ability to host foreign students at its campus in Cambridge , Massachusetts .

Harvard accused the government of retaliating against the university for rebuffing political demands.

Harvard was the first university to reject the government’s demands, saying it threatened the autonomy that has long made U.S. higher education a magnet for the world's top scholars.
