President Donald Trump said Harvard University refuses to tell the U.S. government who its international students are.
On May 22, the Trump administration stripped Harvard of the federal government certification that lets it enroll international students. A federal judge on May 23 temporarily blocked the administration’s effort.
“Part of the problem with Harvard is that there are about 31% of foreigners coming to Harvard … but they refuse to tell us who the people are,” Trump told reporters May 25. “We want a list of those foreign students and we’ll find out whether or not they’re OK. Many will be OK, I assume. And I assume with Harvard many will be bad.”
The Department of Homeland Security says Harvard did not provide the information it requested about the university’s international students. DHS cited that as one reason for revoking Harvard’s certification. But Harvard disputed that in its lawsuit against the Trump administration.
Courts have not yet ruled on whether Harvard complied with providing DHS with the additional information it requested. DHS asked for details about students’ activities, including “illegal” and “dangerous or violent activity.” However, immigration law experts said Trump’s statement that the U.S. government doesn’t know the identities of Harvard’s international students is incorrect.
