On Friday, the University of Harvard sued the US government led by President Donald Trump to abolish the Ivy League school right to enroll in foreign students.
According to court records of Reuters, the University of Harvard, the University of Harvard has described this decision as a “obvious violation” of the first amendment to the US Constitution and other federal laws.
The complaint was filed at the Federal Court in Boston.
In his complaint, Harvard said that the new block managed by Trump’s government had a “immediate and devastating effect” on the university and more than 7,000 visas holders.
“With the stroke of the pen, the government tried to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who significantly contribute to the university and its mission,” Ivy League said in their court proceedings.
Harvard also stated that he was planning to select a temporary retraining order to block the Ministry of Internal Security before the turn.
Trump’s administration suffocates Harvard
Donald Trump Administration suspended the registration of international students at the University of Harvard as part of the Federal Program of Visitors to Students and Exchange (SEVP).
The Ministry of Internal Security announced this step on Thursday and accused the university of leading to the dangerous environment of the campus by allowing “anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators” to attack Jewish students on academic ground.
The ministry also accused Harvard University in coordination with the Chinese Communist Party and claimed that the school had hosted and trained members of the Chinese paramilitary group only in 2024.
“Harvard’s management has created a dangerous campus environment by allowing anti-American pro-terrorist agittors to bother and physically attack individuals, including many Jewish students, and otherwise prevent their once during the normal educational environment,” said.
The latest step came as a blow to Harvard and nearly 6,800 foreign students in his campus at Cambridge, Massachusetts. The blockade would mean that international students can no longer attend university.
Existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal position, the Ministry of Internal Security said.
The threat of Harvard’s international record stems from the request of the Minister of Internal Security Kristi Noem of April 16, who demanded Harvard to provide information about foreign students who could include them in violence or protests that could lead to deportation.
Noem said Harvard could regain the ability to host foreign students if he created a huge number of records of foreign students within 72 hours. The updated application requires all records, including sound or video recordings, foreign students who participate in protests or dangerous activities on academic land.
