Overview

• Homeland Security terminated Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, barring the university from enrolling new international students.
• Existing international students at Harvard must transfer to other institutions or risk losing their legal status in the U.S.
• The Trump administration cited Harvard's refusal to provide records on foreign students and alleged ties to antisemitism and the Chinese Communist Party as reasons for the action.
• Harvard has filed lawsuits challenging the SEVP revocation and a $2.2 billion federal research funding freeze, calling the moves unconstitutional and retaliatory.
• A federal judge in California has issued an order halting deportations of international students affected by the SEVP revocation while legal proceedings continue.
