Washington — The Trump administration said Wednesday that it will be sending administrative subpoenas to Harvard University for information about its foreign students, the latest escalation in its ongoing battle with the Ivy League school.
The Department of Homeland Security said the demand for information relates to Harvard's certification under the Student Visitor and Exchange Program, through which the university can enroll international students.
The administration first demanded Harvard hand over detailed records on its foreign student visa holders' alleged "illegal and violent" activities in April. The school said in court filings that it turned over the information, but the Department of Homeland Security said it was "insufficient" and yanked the school's ability to enroll international students.
Harvard has since sued the Trump administration, and a federal judge in Boston barred it from revoking the school's ability to enroll foreign students last month. In announcing the subpoenas, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Harvard and other unnamed universities of allowing "foreign students to abuse their visa privileges and advocate for violence and terrorism on campus."
