Federal judge blocks Trump effort to keep Harvard from hosting foreign students
BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration's efforts to keep Harvard University from hosting international students. An order from U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs preserves the ability of Harvard to host foreign students while the case is decided. It marks another victory for the Ivy League school as it challenges multiple government sanctions amid a battle with the White House. Harvard sued the Department of Homeland Security in May after the agency withdrew the school's certification to host foreign students and issue paperwork for their visas. The action would have forced Harvard's roughly 7,000 foreign students to transfer or risk being in the U.S. illegally. New foreign students would have been barred from coming to Harvard. The university called it illegal retaliation for rejecting the White House's demands to overhaul Harvard policies around campus protests, admissions, hiring and other issues. Burroughs temporarily halted the action hours after Harvard sued. Less than two weeks later, in early June, Trump moved to block foreign students from entering the U.S. to attend Harvard, citing a different legal justification . Harvard challenged the move and Burroughs temporarily blocked that effort as well. Trump has been warring with Harvard for months after it rejected a series of government demands meant to address conservative complaints that the school has become too liberal and has tolerated anti-Jewish harassment. Trump officials have cut more than $2.6 billion in research grants, ended federal contracts and threatened to revoke its tax-exempt status. In April, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanded that Harvard turn over a trove of records related to any dangerous or illegal activity by foreign students. Harvard says it complied, but Noem said the response fell short and on May 22 revoked Harvard's certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. The sanction immediately put Harvard at a disadvantage as it competed for the world's top students, the school said in its lawsuit, and it harmed Harvard's reputation as a global research hub. 'Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard,' the suit said. The action would have upended some graduate schools that recruit heavily from abroad. Some schools overseas quickly offered invitations to Harvard's students, including two universities in Hong Kong. Harvard President Alan Garber previously said the university has made changes to combat antisemitism. But Harvard, he said, will not stray from its 'core, legally-protected principles,' even after receiving federal ultimatums. ___ The Associated Press' education coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

Supreme Court rejects toy company's push for a quick decision on Trump's tariffs
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a push from an Illinois toy company asking for a quick decision on the legality of President Donald Trump's tariffs. Learning Resources Inc. wanted the justices to take up the case soon, rather than let it continue to play out in lower courts. The company argues the tariffs and uncertainty are having a 'massive impact' on businesses around the country and the issue needs swift attention from the nation's highest court. The justices didn't explain their reasoning in the brief order rebuffing the motion to fast-track the issue, but the Supreme Court is typically reluctant to take up cases before lower courts have decided. An appeals court is set to hear the case in late July. The company argues that the Republican president illegally imposed tariffs under an emergency powers law, bypassing Congress. It won an early victory in a lower court, but the order is on hold as an appeals court considers a similar ruling putting a broader block on Trump's tariffs. The appeals court has allowed Trump to continue collecting tariffs under the emergency powers law for now. The Trump administration has defended the tariffs by arguing that the emergency powers law gives the president the authority to regulate imports during national emergencies and that the country's longtime trade deficit qualifies as a national emergency.

Circle shares surge 245% since IPO as Senate bill passage feeds stablecoin fever
Circle Internet, the only publicly traded stablecoin issuer in the U.S., extended its extraordinary post-IPO run Friday after securing its first analyst buy rating. Why it matters: The bullish outlook for stablecoins continues to grow, fueled by the U.S. Senate's recent passage of legislation that would establish a clear regulatory framework for domestic issuers. State of play: Circle's IPO priced at $31 on June 4, and opened trading the next day at $69. It's up 245% from that point as of Friday afternoon. It was the fifth-most actively traded name on the NYSE Friday. And the company's market cap has swelled nearly $40 billion from where it ended its first day of trading, at under $19 billion. The latest: The buy rating from Seaport Global reflects its view that Circle, the issuer of USDC, is well positioned to benefit from an expected surge the global market for stablecoins. Catch up quick: Dollar-backed Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to the value of a U.S. dollar, backed one-for-one by cash or other highly liquid instruments such as short-term U.S. Treasuries. They are mainly used to facilitate crypto trading, but are increasingly being eyed for use in payments. By the numbers: Customers have already deposited $61 billion to receive USDC. But that still puts the stablecoin at a distant second place in terms of market cap to USDT, issued by Tether. There's a huge gap from USDC to number three, however.
