Harvard, MIT sue Trump Government over new International students visa policy

Trump officials introduced a new policy that barred international students from attending U.S. colleges that go online-only this fall, and now Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have made their objections clear. They sued the U.S. government in federal court Wednesday, seeking to have the U.S. Immigration Customs And Enforcement policy reversed and declared unlawful. In the complaint, the schools condemn the agency's "arbitrary and capricious" decision
