Harvard Challenges Trump Administration’s Ban on Foreign Students
Harvard University is suing the Trump administration for barring it from enrolling foreign students, claiming the action is unconstitutional retaliation for the school’s defiance of political demands. The lawsuit asserts that the ban violates the First Amendment and threatens to remove a significant portion of Harvard’s student body, which includes nearly 6,800 international students. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that the ban serves as a warning to other universities, while Harvard defends its governance changes and prepares to counter allegations regarding its international students.
