The Trump administration has barred Harvard University from enrolling international students about 27% of its body after the university resisted demands to submit records and enforce ideological reforms. DHS, led by Secretary Noem, revoked Harvard’s SEVP certification for the 2025–26 academic year, forcing current foreign students to transfer or face deportation. Harvard filed suit, obtaining an immediate restraining order from Judge Burroughs to block enforcement. The administration also froze over $2 billion in research funds and threatened Harvard’s tax-exempt status. Meanwhile, visa interviews are halted pending expanded social‑media vetting. The standoff spotlights mounting federal pressure on academic independence. (PC: NDTV & The Guardian)
