  "summary": "A US federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration rule that aimed to replace the longstanding \"duration of status\" system for foreign students with fixed-term admissions, including a four-year cap for most international students. The ruling was made just a day before the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rule was set to take effect, providing temporary relief to international students, including a large Indian student population. The judge found that the policy was likely to cause \"catastrophic\" damage to the US higher-education system and economy, and that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had failed to comply with requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act.",
