波士顿大学正在支持一项新濠影汇赌场诉讼，这是两个月来第二次挑战特朗普总统的移民行政命令，加入了法庭之友（法院之友）简报，支持寻求禁止执行2017年3月6日发布的行政命令的团体和个人。
The University and 30 other institutions, including the 8 Ivy League colleges and many members of the 美国大学协会, filed the 埃米希 brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, a federal court that hears cases filed in the states of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and the Carolinas. 该摘要被提交给第四巡回法院，因为它是第一个审查下级法院阻止该命令的决定的新濠影汇赌场上诉法院。 In February, BU joined seven Massachusetts universities in a similar 支持在马萨诸塞州提起的诉讼的摘要 challenging Trump’s first executive order, issued January 27.
Erika这些年波士顿大学副校长兼总法律顾问说，波士顿大学很高兴能向全国知名大学的集体努力提供支持，让法院了解行政命令造成的真正危害。
“An amicus brief provides the opportunity for institutions that are not parties to a case to present additional facts that they believe will assist the court in reaching a just result,” says Geetter. “在这种情况下，大学能够给出许多具体的例子，说明全面禁止来自特定国家的个人对我们的教育使命产生了深远的影响。”
最新的简报是在马里兰州一名新濠影汇赌场法官发布一项全国性命令的案件中提交的，该命令暂时阻止了特朗普对六个主要穆斯林国家移民的90天禁令：伊朗、利比亚、叙利亚、索马里、苏丹和也门。 The judge issued the ruling in a case filed by several plaintiffs, including the 国际难民援助项目 and the 北美中东新濠影汇线上赌场研究协会, against the federal government. 夏威夷的一名新濠影汇赌场法官也无限期地停止了这一禁令以及该命令的另一项条款，该条款将所有难民排除在120天之外。
这两个法院都引用了川普在去年总统竞选期间的声明作为证据，证明川普的行政令非法针对穆斯林这个宗教团体。
该简报声称，每一所签署的大学“都有全球使命，并从来自世界各地的不同学生、新濠影汇赌场、员工和学者的贡献中受益。” Because 埃米希 seek to educate future world leaders, attract the world’s best scholars, faculty, and students, and work across international borders, they rely on their ability to welcome international students, faculty, and scholars into their communities.
“In light of their educational missions,” the brief continues, “埃米希 have a strong interest in ensuring that individuals from around the globe can continue to enter the United States and share their unique skills and perspectives.因此，通过在美国学习，他们对我们所珍视的价值观有了更深的理解和欣赏，包括民主原则、对法治的尊重、宽容和人权，这些价值观他们可能会与本国公民分享。”
这份简报解释说，大学里有来自受行政命令旅行禁令影响的六个国家的学生、新濠影汇赌场和学者。 除了影响到这些国家的个人外，该命令还给美国学术界带来了其他有害后果： 例如，“来自世界各地的教职员工已经呼吁抵制在美国举行的学术会议，作为对这一行政命令的回应……”除此之外，该命令还说，“考虑进一步基于国籍的绝对入境禁令”，阻碍了大学“吸引来自世界各地最聪明、最有才华的学生、教职员工和学者”的能力。
Those negative effects, the universities argue, are occurring “absent any evidence that all or even an appreciable number of nationals from these six countries—all of whom already undergo significant vetting by the government before being permitted to study or work here—pose any threat to the safety or security of the United States or 朋友的s campuses.”
该简报引用了最高法院的判决，肯定了学术界对“学生群体多样性带来的教育利益”的兴趣。
