Harvard University has taken legal action against the Trump administration, asking the court to reverse a ban that prevents international students from enrolling. The university claims the ban, put in place by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Secretary Kristi Noem, breaks the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
According to CNBC, this ban impacts more than 7,000 current international students who hold F-1 visas, effectively cutting out a quarter of Harvard’s student population. The DHS decision also canceled Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, which means the university can no longer admit any new international students.
