“Admission to the United States to study at an ‘elite’ American university is a privilege, not a right,” #US AG #PamBondi said in a post on X. “This Department of Justice will vigorously defend the President’s proclamation suspending the entry of new foreign students at Harvard University based on national security concerns.”

Rep. #PramilaJayapal, D-Wash., called the measure ridiculous & said it has nothing to do with #NationalSecurity.
“It’s a thinly veiled revenge ploy in #Trump’s personal feud with #Harvard, & continued #authoritarian overreach against #FreeSpeech,” Jayapal posted on social media.

It applies to all #students attempting to enter the #US to attend #Harvard after the date of the #ExecutiveOrder. It provides a loophole to allow students whose entry would “benefit the national interest,” as determined by federal ofcls.
For foreign students already at Harvard, Secy of #State #MarcoRubio will determine if #visas should be revoked, Trump wrote.
[so the State Dept is overseeing admissions? WTF?]

#Trump’s order alleges that #Harvard provided data on misconduct by only 3 #students in response to the #DHS request, & it lacked the detail to gauge if federal action was needed. Trump concluded that Harvard is either “not fully reporting its disciplinary records for foreign students or is not seriously policing its foreign students.”
