*🚨 BREAKING: Trump Administration Revokes Harvard's Authority to Enroll International Students*
In a significant escalation of tensions between the Trump administration and elite academic institutions, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced on May 22, 2025, that Harvard University's certification to enroll international students has been revoked. This decision affects over 6,800 international students currently enrolled at Harvard, compelling them to transfer to other institutions or risk losing their legal status in the United States.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem cited Harvard's alleged promotion of antisemitism, failure to comply with information requests regarding foreign students, and purported collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party as reasons for the revocation.
Harvard University has responded by filing a lawsuit in federal court, arguing that the revocation violates the First Amendment and poses significant harm to its international student body. A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the administration's move, providing temporary relief to affected students.
This development has sparked widespread concern among the academic community and international students, highlighting the ongoing conflict between the federal government and higher education institutions over issues of governance, free speech, and academic independence.
