US domestic Security Secretary Kristi Noem on April 16 sent a letter to Harvard University asking the oldest school in the US to provide all related documents “illegal or violent behavior” of international students studying here.

Harvard must comply with the request before April 30, otherwise he will be deprived of a student program license and an study abroad (SEVP). This is a mechanism that allows universities in the US to recruit international students and train foreign students to have a student visa.

In the letter, the US Department of Security (DHS) asked Harvard to provide information about international students “who have threatened others in the campus, hindered the learning environment or have been disciplined for acts related to threats, inciting or participating in demonstrations”.

Minister Noem accused Harvard to create a “hostile learning environment” for Jewish -born students. “The Harvard University’s admission to international students a privilege, not the default rights,” she wrote.

The letter also cited the executive decree issued by US President Donald Trump on January 28, which requires universities to supervise international students if they suspect they are involved in criminal or terrorist acts.

“Harvard knelt at the wave of Jewish chains. This stems from the weak leadership capacity of the school. They create an extreme chaos and threaten national security,” said Noem.

Harvard spokesman Sarah E. Kennedy O’Reilly, answered that the school had received a letter from DHS but still maintained the stance at the beginning of the week that Harvard “would not trade autonomy or abandon his constitutional rights” to keep funding from the government.

“If the federal government acts against any member of our community, we hope that these actions will be based on clear evidence, comply with the legal process and respect the constitutional rights for everyone,” O’Reilly said.

In the school year 2024-2025, Harvard University had nearly 6,800 international students, accounting for more than 27% of the school’s general students.

The threat of banning international students is the latest move in the Trump administration’s pressure campaign targeting Harvard, the most prestigious and oldest school of the United States. DHS previously canceled two USD 2.7 million funding for the school.

The US Department of Justice has also requested the Department of Tax Department (IRS) to recover the tax exemption regulation for Harvard, on the grounds that the university constantly “loses the public’s trust” and has no measures to resolve the Jewish chain on campus. The request was made right after the White House freezed $ 2.2 billion in federal funding and cooperation agreements worth $ 60 million for Harvard.

CNNLeading two sources of proficiency said IRS, an agency under the US Department of Finance, is planning and will soon cancel the tax exemption regulation of Harvard University.

According to American law, most universities are exempted from federal income tax because they are organized to serve public education goals. Non -profit -free organizations may lose this right if they violate some laws, including the ban on them to participate in political activities.

President Trump on April 15 declared Harvard “should be taxed as a political organization” if it did not meet the requirements of reforming the management of the Jewish idea, supporting terrorism. He later called Harvard “a joke, only teaching about hatred and stupid”.

IRS has not confirmed the information. Harvard has not yet commented on the possibility of IRS canceled tax exemption. IRS has recovered the tax exemption rights of a Christian school that is accused of “applying racist enrollment policy” in the 1980s.

The tension between Harvard University and the Trump administration has recently escalated, related to the students’ protests protest against the battle at the Gaza Strip in this campus last year.

The anti -ideological group of the Jewish thought (JTFCAS) under the US Department of Education on April 15 issued a series of requirements with Harvard University, which changed the curriculum and enrollment methods, in order to eliminate the Jewish ideology.

Harvard University announced his willingness to cooperate with the government, but argued that such requirements were excessive intervention, allowing the federal government to “control the Harvard community” and threaten “the values ​​of the school as a private organization focusing on pursuing, creating and universal knowledge”.
