Harvard Sues over Trump’s Foreign Student Visa Restrictions
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump issued an order preventing new international students from enrolling at Harvard University and entering the United States.
- This directive followed earlier actions by the Department of Homeland Security in May to revoke Harvard’s certification to host foreign students, amid accusations of national security risks.
- Harvard contests the directive as retaliation for rejecting government demands on oversight and filed an amended complaint claiming the move bypasses a previous court order blocking such restrictions.
- The university reported that more than 7,000 international students holding F-1 and J-1 visas, along with their dependents, have been impacted, describing the government's actions as targeting Harvard for political reasons rather than safeguarding U.S. Interests.
- The dispute creates uncertainty for prospective international students like Yonas Nuguse from Ethiopia and others, as Harvard vows to continue protecting its foreign students amid ongoing legal challenges.
