Yo, so check it out – a federal judge put a temporary stop to the Trump administration’s plan to kick out international students from Harvard University. Harvard went ahead and sued the administration, claiming it was a total violation of the First Amendment, Due Process Clause, and Administrative Procedure Act. The judge, Allison D. Burroughs, came through with a temporary restraining order and set up a hearing for Tuesday morning.
The Trump team said Harvard got the boot from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program because they didn’t give up the goods on their student visa holders. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem straight up said Harvard didn’t play nice by not giving out info and creating a campus vibe that ain’t cool for Jewish students, showing love for Hamas, and pushing some shady ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ policies. Harvard’s President Alan Gerber clapped back, saying they did give the Department of Homeland Security the deets they wanted, like they were supposed to.
Harvard didn’t hold back in their complaint, saying there’s no legit reason to cancel their status. They accused the administration of coming at them hard because they back policies the administration ain’t feeling. The drama between Harvard and the government is heating up, with threats to the school’s tax-exempt status and billions in federal funds on the line. The public seems to have Harvard’s back, with most Americans siding with the university over the administration. But things are far from over, so stay tuned for updates, folks.
