Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has demanded records from Harvard regarding foreign students participating in protests she associates with terrorism and antisemitism, warning of potential removal from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. This action follows claims from both Noem and President Trump about the university fostering extremist ideologies post-Hamas attack on Israel. Additionally, Noem has canceled federal grants to the university, criticizing its leadership and calling for accountability over reported antisemitic incidents and anti-American sentiments on campus.
Noem declared that Harvard's leadership is spineless in the face of antisemitism, claiming it fosters an environment of extremism and threatens national security.
In response to rising antisemitism and extremism, Noem stated that Harvard must justify its compliance with foreign student regulations or risk being barred from the SEVP.
The DHS press release underscored that since the recent Hamas attack on Israel, Harvard's foreign visa-holding students have engaged in antisemitic activities.
Harvard is accused of enabling antisemitism on campus, prompting federal officials to reconsider its federal funding and student enrollment privileges.
