- Homeland Security Secretary Noem threatened to revoke Harvard's international student program — On June 23, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem penned an op-ed in the Washington Post stating she remains "prepared to revoke Harvard University's Student and Exchange Visitor Program [SEVP] certification," which would prohibit the school from enrolling international students. Noem claimed Harvard has not complied with "lawful oversight duties," has "fostered antisemitic extremism," and "used taxpayer money to collaborate with an American adversary." She also attacked the federal judge who blocked the administration's earlier attempt to revoke the certification.
