US judge blocks Trump rule limiting stays for foreign students, journalists

2026-09-14 22:12 UTC – 2026-09-15 18:24 UTC

Neutral summary

A federal judge in Boston, F. Dennis Saylor, on Monday temporarily blocked a Trump administration rule that would have imposed fixed limits on how long foreign students, exchange visitors and journalists could stay in the United States. The ruling came a day before the measure was to take effect, in response to a lawsuit by a coalition of unions and higher-education groups. The judge called the Department of Homeland Security’s justification, which cited national security and fraud prevention, “exceptionally weak” and said the connection between the rule and the problems it purported to address was “exceptionally attenuated.” The restrictions would have capped student stays at four years and journalist stays at 240 days.
