DHS Threatens Harvard With Loss of International Students
Briefly

The Department of Homeland Security revoked $2.7 million in grants to Harvard University and threatened to terminate its Student and Visitor Exchange Program (SEVP) certification. This followed Harvard's refusal to comply with the Trump administration's demands for changes in governance amid allegations of antisemitism during pro-Palestinian protests. The government has launched a civil rights investigation into these claims, while also freezing significant research funding and targeting the university's tax-exempt status. DHS has set a deadline for Harvard to provide records on allegations of illegal activities by foreign students.
"Harvard bending the knee to antisemitism-driven by its spineless leadership-fuels a cesspool of extremist riots and threatens our national security."
"DHS demanded the university provide detailed records on Harvard's foreign student visa holders' illegal and violent activities by April 30 or lose SEVP certification."
