President Trump’s administration just pulled Harvard’s SEVP status.
This is forcing thousands of foreign students to transfer or get out of the country.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blamed violent activism and alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party for the decision.
Students face a deadline as the program cancellation kicks in.
Looks like Ivy League prestige meets immigration pitchforks.

Big change has come to Harvard!
New York Post reports:
The Trump administration moved Thursday to kick out thousands of foreign students enrolled at Harvard University.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the cancellation of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) for the Ivy League Institution — meaning current students from overseas must transfer or leave the US — after threatening in a letter last month that leaders not providing data about crimes committed by foreign students would force her hand.
The cabinet official also pointed to recent reports and a new congressional investigation into Harvard’s purported ties to Chinese military-linked institutions.
“Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused,” Noem went on. “Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”
A rep for Harvard responded to the announcement by declaring the action “unlawful.”

No more educating the enemies of America with taxpayer money!

The Trump administration has just stripped Harvard of its ability to admit international students on visas. This is authoritarianism in action—an open attack on education, diversity, and democracy.
