The Spin
Democratic narrative
This was the right ruling. The mass termination of student visas, like the administration's attempt to ban Harvard from accepting foreign students, unconstitutionally restricts free speech for the students and the universities. The administration's actions will hurt the United States in the long run if the courts don't stop it.
Republican narrative
This ruling couldn't be more wrong. This judge is hindering the Trump administration's ability to crack down on foreign students who align themselves with terrorists and antisemites. A visa is a privilege, and the Trump administration must continue to do what it can to make sure those visas don't fall into the wrong hands.
