JUST IN: Department of Homeland Security is threatening to strip Harvard's eligibility to host international students unless it turns over disciplinary records.

Does felon narcissist rapist trump think any international students would risk coming here now????
Who's running Homeland Security? Whoever it is! Shouldn't be participating in unjust acts on any level. The students in colleges aren't a threat to America this man they call president is the biggest threat to America's destruction! Not students! Remove him, question his loyalty to America's safety!
How did this administration find so many people with autocratic tendencies? Is there a club or something?
I frequently wonder the same thing. Ok. We know Trump is deranged. But, how did he find so many enablers? What is in it for them?
1) follow the money 2) the sum of all the fringe groups is larger than the rational beings. 3) yup we have that many racists, misogynists, xenophobes, homophobes, evangelicals, con men...
Take a look around the average workplace. All the worst people; give them responsibility they aren't ready for, authority they haven't earned, and confidence that isn't warranted. The Venn diagram with Repub & MAGA will be a bullseye.
This can inky get uglier.
Universities must fight COLLECTIVELY! Rightwing anti-intellectual repression. Over 1,000 student visas terminated. Understand: the decoration policy is not about El Salvadoran criminal gangs (pretext).The policy is xenophobia as cover for hostility to Universities and Knowledge Workers.
Despicable
The Trump administration's escalation of threats against Harvard fall into the same category as the 145/245 % tariffs against China. Using the power of government to carry out a temper tantrum. I'm guessing that, by tomorrow, the FDA will be trying to close Harvard's on campus cafeterias.
Harvard be like
Fuck that fascist regime
Power of the government being used to punish and bully a place of education. We’ve seen this before and what it leads to
FDT
Reminds me of the times aoc and mtg chased each other around dc, screaming profanities for each other, obv lacking legal ground to do more to each other...
This is fascism. It's also disgusting Trump is using antisemitism as a pretext to take over universities.
Hope Harvard told them to suck an egg 🤣🤣
Anything to dumb people down and hate, the only thing Trump will ever be known for.
This threat itself is a big 'SHAME, NONSENSE AND UNFAIR ILLEGALITY TRYING ABUSING GOVERNMENTAL ABILITIES!' Because it protects Israeli racist and far rightist protesters who scream 'Death to ALL Arabs, Palestinians, their babies&children!' Hostility against 'ALL RELIGIONS&RACES' must be prevented!
Impeach Trump!
A fascist regime attempting to intimidate an institution for not bending the knee and collaborating.
Whilst stupidity continues to plague, bright minds will go somewhere else to produce new life saving medicines, treatments and machines.
The behaviour of extremists…
D I S C I P L I N E lol is the new propaganda speak for racism lol
Stay strong 💪

It’s ok - they probably don’t want to come anyway.
They can let foreign students attend via video and tell Trump to fuck himself.
This is assine (again),jackass politics vs higher education. Humanity demands better. Please stand behind higher education
This administration is taking things to the absurd.
Hooooollllddd!
The US from Hero to Zero in 3 months. Havard is welcome to Canada.
It looks more and more like a totalitarian regime
Why more and more? Maybe not totalitarian but it is de facto an authoritarian regime. No rule of law, permanent attacks against anyone who opposes this administration, etc.
Autocratic monarchy. The guy has visions of being a king. Look at Mar-A-Lingo the place looks like a cheap version of Buckingham Palace and he is in the process of turning the Whitehouse into the same. Putin knows his likes by sending him a painted portrait of his mug for his collection.
WTF? Where the hell does this Administration get off telling universities this? Meanwhile a racist, homophobic, misogynistic FELON occupies the White House. JFC 🤬
Anyone working for this administration needs to weigh up the highs of this sixth months against the possibility of prosecution or prison in 5 or 10 years time. They are all complicit & there won’t be enough presidential pardons to go round
Why should anyone follow any orders from the WH or the executive branch since they have no problem not following orders from the judicial branch. Basically everyone should just tell the DOJ, DHS, and the felon to go fuck themselves.
They can fuck all the way off Kids don’t wanna come here rn anyway
Weaponization of the government in full effect. I can’t wait until the day comes when this all comes crashing down on this sham of an administration.
This thing is headed for a Great Depression. Only question is if the Republicans will throw out the bum or not at that point. My guess is they won’t.
They are all too far down the rabbit hole no turning back now. The US is now under the control of a autocrat who has visions of turning the US into a autocratic monarchy with Trump being the King. 🤷♀️
We will terminate them with extreme prejudice.
Thats WAR! Against democracy and freedom of opinion and the independence of teaching!
#Harvard will immediately sue They have some of the best lawyers in the world
They don’t have the authority to do this
This hunt targeting international students has to end. If foreign students have no right to protest or voice support politically. Then why not arrest international students attending Trump support groups too? USA is another North Korea.
@cnn.com "DHS EXTORTS Harvard". Fixed the headline for you.
Another unbelievable and punitive development 😤🤯😤🤯
😤😤😤🤯🤯🤯
Their grandchildren will carry the shame when history is written
I wonder if to study aboard really means something for youngsters who want to fix their respective nations' economies, when these foreign universities have no clue about whatever happens there 🤷♂️
I remember when the W. Bush administration created the Department of Homeland Security. We are living the discussions and debates of over exactly how this agency would operate but no one expected us to have a rogue president
Take them to court, win, watch them cry. Easy
Another move to destroy yet another piece of greatness that America really had.
America really is turning into North Korea
White Americans need to heal fast and clean house yall are uglier by trump did to the rest of the world honestly speaking all yall are being eye balled by the way. Yall support for trump is overwhelming but you resolve must be stronger and fast .
And who gave that nasty Kristi the keys to Homeland Security, she a national risk in herself
If Harvard can't defend themselves against trumps nasty regime, then all is lost
CNN IS LYING. The ONLY restricted political activity for nonprofits is supporting or endorsing CANDIDATES for public office. They can engage in any speech, media, or lobbying they want, on any issue, any time. I've been working these issues for 43 years. www.irs.gov/charities-no...
Whoa, talk about Gestapo tactics.
How does DHS even have that authority and how is an internal college record’s policies even legally relate to their immigration enforcement policies? Another easy win. I’m a proud Harvard alum happy to watch them beat down the federal government in court.
Harvard should move to Canada. Thats where most of the Students are going. But what they should start is an educational stream/books and maybe Television Shows and have there Experts teach the public how to couteract a Dictator. And how other countries got rid of them.
Can this orange regime really do this?
Heard it said earlier -- if you grew up in the 80s and saw Revenge of the Nerds -- you know how this ends. My money is on the nerds.
Problem is the nerds like Elon decided to be evil and be murderous tech nerds. Sad. Look at J.D. Vance. Technoedgelords who at one time were made fun of and instead of making the world better. Decided to burn it all down and let everyone die.
Elon is a rich fake nerd.🤷
Is he actually a nerd at all - or does he simply steals ideas from other intelligent people and promote them as his own (as he’s the money to file copyright and hire expensive lawyers to send out threatening letters etc).
Elon isn't an actual nerd. He's a thieving bully who's spent his entire adult life using PR to build an image.
Since when is JD Vance a nerd
Maybe they meant to say turd.
Soooo why doesn’t Noem just go and shoot someone in the face? That’s what she does best.
She's comfortable shooting helpless animals. She's too much of a coward to shoot a human being.
We R in danger! This will work its way down 2ordinary folks.(1)Immigrants jailed in ElSalvador w/o DUE PROCESS (2)Harvard threatened by IRS (3)SocialSecurity data mined by DOGE - Americans canB declared DEAD by SS. (4)LawFirms provide MILLIONS of PRO BONO work 4Trump. No 1American can survive this.
I am so glad the Harvard is standing up to Trump, I am standing with Harvard!
I stand with harvard against fascism
Threats, intimidations…usually tactics of thugs, not the USG. What an upside down world this is!🤦🏻♀️
Trump and his sycophants are destroying America.
Tell them to pound sand. Or expunge all records
Totalitarianism!
Does Harvard have an oversees campus where they could educate foreign students?
The Trump administration should be sued to their bones by all top American universities.
FUCK THIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION.
Don't cave. Go to court. Fight back before the Naz*s crush us all.
Fascism
So, studying history was not a popular course in America. Therefore as the saying goes you'll be repeating it. The fall of the Roman Empire was from within.
📌
Hannah Arendt was just one very perceptive woman 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
About that quote, I swear it's worth reading this text about it.
Wow- interesting.
Remove Trump, remove Trump. He is destroying everything he touches. He is poison to everyone around him. There is only one being that can do so much damage to the world and that is the the Anti Christ. “Trump” Do what ever is legally possible to remove him.
Trump is trash. End of story.
Hell that summary sums it up pretty good
When he goes after colleges and universities they should respond by saying “Thanks to trump this school will have to make up the loss by pulling funding from our sports programs - especifically college football and basketball!”
Fight Harvard Fight
An insane abuse of power by this administration
Hello THIS www.threads.net/@jenasonia82...
USA IS A RUSSIAN STATE
Just Say No, Harvard.
They’re not even trying to hide the fact that we’re being turned into a dictatorship anymore.
Not in the slightest. What’s their go to phrase? “The people elected us to do this.” Which isn’t true of course, they lied about Social Security,lied about Project 2025 and every one of his appointees lied about their intentions at their confirmation hearings.
They don’t need to. They have removed the guardrails.
Trump simply can’t stand anyone standing up to him! He will do everything in his power to crush them! Stand your ground he doesn’t have a case!
Harvard getting under their skin a little bit? I haven't seen a tanTrump this big since they all went full gaslight on the kidnapping of innocent Kilmar.
What in the name of Hitler is going on here?!
Go Harvard! Beat Trump! Veritas! Veritas! Veritas!
Thank God they have the gumption to stand up to this FASCIST. Somebody needs to.
#RESIST
Other countries universities will benefit from this, while the Americans keep shooting themselves in the foot.
Back to Court
Harvard can host international students whether the Nazis want them to or not. DHS can fuck ALL the way off.
Trump wants to hand over education to the states, but still decide how they run schools and universities?
No, they are also forcing public schools to comply through extortion.
This administration is tyrannical
I'm sure that threatening a dynastic law school with blatantly illegal retaliation will go well.
Looks like DHS is taking a tough stance on accountability! It's fascinating how higher education and immigration intersect, but this could have serious implications for international students. Transparency is important, but so is protecting students' privacy. What do you think the right balance is?
Do you trust the current administration to treat student information carefully, with discretion and legal consideration?
wow
A disgrace but who will stop this ??
I hope Harvard won't cooperate.
How has the US ever been labeled a democracy if this is possible in 80ish days by one person?
Years of positioning enablers. E.g.: mitch McConnell was not presenting laws for votes during the Obama administration. It prevented having Rs having to be on the record on the more controversial subjects and helped create an impression that Obama could not pass law. 1 man selected laws voted on
Pretty sure we lost democracy status within a week of him being sworn in
Of course they are, they’ll try to castrate anyone with the balls to fight them.
This is absolute lunacy!
OMG, fewer harvard slots for foreign students => more slots for american students, what will americans do? (they will get admitted to harvard in slightly greater number. duh.) also: this is illegal, including a violation of due process and equal protection protections.
A sociopath aided by the media/press, big law, and allowed to commit his crimes without any consequences from judges and the SCOTUS bsky.app/profile/seth...
