A judge ruled on Wednesday to block undocumented students from receiving in-state tuition at universities in Texas.

Five years into his PhD program, Sudipta Saha, a Harvard student from Canada, looked with disbelief at the Trump administration’s notice for foreign students at the university to transfer or leave the country.
