Harvard University has sued the Trump administration after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked its ability to enroll foreign students, threatening the futures of thousands and impacting over a quarter of its student body.

The administration’s actions are seen as retaliation against Harvard for refusing to submit to government oversight amid accusations of fostering antisemitism and liberal ideology.

Harvard President Alan Garber condemned the move as unlawful and dangerous to international education, while China criticized the decision for damaging the U.S.’s global image.

Students and faculty have expressed deep concern, with some students considering transfers due to the escalating conflict.
