Harvard University sued to stop the Trump administration from barring its international students' entrance to the US, adding to a high-stakes legal battle between the government and the school.

Harvard asked a judge on Thursday to block President Donald Trump's proclamation that the university's foreign students will no longer be able to enter the country. The lawsuit expands on one the university filed on May 23 over another US effort to stop Harvard from enrolling international students.

The president said Wednesday that Harvard's refusal to provide records about international student misconduct poses a national security risk. His executive action blocked Harvard's foreign students and researchers from entering the country. Last month, the administration revoked the school's ability to sponsor their visas.

Trump's proclamation further escalated his feud with the oldest and richest US university, where foreign students make up 27% of the campus population. Harvard has also sued over the US freezing more than $2.6 billion in federal funding. Both lawsuits claim Trump is illegally retaliating against Harvard, violating the school's free speech rights because it failed to adhere to his wishes.
