What they really want to do is expel persons of colour from the US, and only have caucasians in the country.
Nazis do what Nazis do.
Not sure if this is constitutional though.
I am sure it will be challenged in court and the administration is going to lose. Again.

There was also this incident at harvard kennedy school of business where Xie Feng, a chinese ambassador, was invited to give a propaganda speech. The three students were placed on disciplinary probation however the student who physically removed the first protrestor did not receive any disciplinary action (it is argued that this is the job of campus police not a student.)

Harvard Placed 3 Students on Probation For Role in Anti-CCP Protest, Documents Show | News | The Harvard Crimson
The Harvard College Administrative Board briefly placed three undergraduates on disciplinary probation for protesting Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng during an event at the Harvard Kennedy School in April.
It is a shame it has come down to this as im sure 90% of the international student body comes to america looking for the best education and opportunites but when a school continually breaks rules punishments need to be levied.
And we thought Joe McCarthy and his ilk was over and done with. So what's next? A Senate Committee On Un-Zionist Activities? More kangaroo hearings?
In its previous iteration Harvard (i.e. McGeorge Bundy et al) to abject shame, abandoned one of their own: Prof Robert Neely Bellah, renowned scholar of sociology of religion, who was forced to seek refuge at McGill.
Trump Admin Revokes Harvard’s Authorization To Enroll International Students

The Trump administration revoked Harvard’s ability to enroll international students on Thursday, dramatically escalating the administration’s fight with the University and threatening thousands of current students.
In a letter addressed to Harvard President Alan M. Garber ’76, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote that Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification was halted, “effective immediately.”
The revocation would prevent Harvard from enrolling any international students on F- or J- nonimmigrant visas for the 2025-2026 academic year. Harvard currently hosts more than 6,000 international students, many of whom attend on F-1 or J-1 visas.
The announcement comes just one week before thousands of international students at Harvard are set to graduate.
The move is likely to prompt a legal challenge from Harvard, according to a person familiar with the matter. Harvard has not yet filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
Harvard spokesperson Jason A. Newton called the DHS’s move “unlawful” and wrote that Harvard was “fully committed” to maintaining Harvard’s ability to enroll international students.
“This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvard’s academic and research mission,” he wrote in a statement.
In a press release, Noem announced that current international students must “transfer or lose their legal status.”
When a university’s SEVP certification is revoked, currently enrolled international students must choose between transferring to a different institution, changing their immigration status, or leaving the country, according to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement website.
The move comes three weeks after Harvard partially submitted disciplinary records of international students that were requested by the Trump administration in mid-April. Administrators have declined to specify what information was shared with the agency.
The DHS initially sent Harvard an April 16 letter demanding the University provide information on international students’ campus activities, including protest participation. Noem had threatened to revoke Harvard’s SEVP certification if it did not comply.
In the letter to Garber, Noem alleged that the records that Harvard submitted on April 30 were “insufficient” and failed to address “simple reporting requirements.” She also accused Harvard of “perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas sympathies, and employs racist ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, you have lost this privilege.”
A Harvard spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
According to Noem’s letter to Garber, the DHS reiterated its records request after Harvard’s initial response, offering the University’s Office of General Counsel a second chance to turn over additional documents.
But the DHS alleged that Harvard “ignored” the request for the second set of documents.
Noem gave Harvard 72 hours to turn over a flurry of documents to the DHS to have “the opportunity” to regain its SEVP certification before the upcoming academic year.
Those documents include paper records, audio, and video of protest activity by any international student enrolled at any of Harvard’s schools in the last five years. The DHS also asked for the full slate of disciplinary records of international students at Harvard for the last five years.
It is unclear whether the Trump administration will restore Harvard’s SEVP certification if it submits the requested documents.

Thursday’s letter followed several days of back-and-forth between Harvard and the White House over the legality of the records request, The New York Times reported, citing three unnamed sources.
Leo Gerdén ’25, an international student from Sweden, said the announcement was “devastating” and that Harvard needs to fight the DHS decision “as hard as we possibly can.”
“Every tool available they should use to try and change this. It could be all the legal resources suing the Trump administration, whatever they can use the endowment to, whatever they can use their political network in Congress,” Gerdén said. “This should be, by far, priority number one.”
Karl N. Molden ’27, another international student and organizer of Harvard Students for Freedom with Gerdén, said the federal government’s actions have created widespread panic among students.
“The federal government is asking us to transfer out,” Molden said. “They now have to go through this stressful procedure again, find a university, and transfer their credits, and lose all their friends.”
“It looks like it’s all falling apart,” he added.
Still, Molden said he had faith in Harvard’s ability to push back against the Trump administration’s efforts.
“They’re doing the best that they can to support us,” he said. “But it’s absolutely terrible, and it’s shocking.”

They want to get rid of all non whites. The Golden years likely only had whites and blacks. Back in the day the US modelled their immigration policy after Nazi propaganda. How the white race is superior to others. It wasn't until the 60's they stopped beating the blacks and finally started accepting other races of people into their country.
First, they fascinate the fools. Then, they muzzle the intelligent.

Great job, I hate him for the tariffs. But good decisione with this, considering Canada took in Twenty thousand of Indian students and now they disappeared.
It will be an attack on all universities and colleges that won't tow the line.
Submission to trump's censorship on the genocide and China won't save a university or college.
This is clearly illegal bullshit, isn't it?
If that were true, why not target all international students, Why only at Harvard? Your premise doesn't make sense
Because they're opportunistic and haphazard and the process of ethnically cleansing the US is just beginning??
