Federal judge blocks Trump 's effort to restrict foreign students at Harvard - for now.

Department of Homeland Security gives Harvard 30 days to prove it meets requirements of student visa programme.

Legal experts agree the Trump administration could lose if courts find it targeted Harvard for ideological reasons.

If judges determine DHS ' basis for withdrawing Harvard 's certification violates university's free speech rights, the court could rule against the government.

"The smoking gun is very smoky indeed, it's right out there," says legal director Will Creeley .

Harvard must comply with federal non-discrimination laws that bar prejudice based on race, gender, national origin, or other protected classes.

But that doesn't mean that the federal government can dictate acceptable pedagogy in Harvard 's classrooms.
