I believe they've taken a different tactic here - attacking Harvard's ability to enroll international students, not the students' status directly.

The article states "existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status"; this injunction would appear to pause that.

The semester is already over, many of them went home. They'll simply be refused when they try to come back.

That's a real issue. If you're on a student visa, and were planning on coming back in the fall, leaving the US for the summer may be a bad move. Entry to the US can be denied arbitrarily. Deporting someone is harder.

It used to be harder and mostly seems to be a matter of ICE finding the right door to break down now.

Deporting someone is just a matter of grabbing them off the street and shipping them out to El Salvador before the courts hear anything about it.

Not only refused, they may be locked up for a couple of weeks, as has happened to various tourists.

Sure, I was locked up by DHS/immigration, and I am a US citizen. CBP/ICE/HSI doesn't really need much of anything to lock you up, when they did it to me they told me I wasn't even under arrest.

It’s hard to do an injunction if there is currently no harm.

ICE begs to differ.
