Trump administration ends Harvard's ability to enrol international students

The Trump administration has moved to end Harvard's ability to enrol international students, escalating a row with America's oldest university.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X that the administration has revoked Harvard's "Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law."

"Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country," she wrote.

Harvard called the move "unlawful" in a statement.

Nearly 7,000 international students were enrolled at the institution last academic year, university data shows, making up 27.2% of its student body.

Harvard did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
