Department of National Security USA (DHS) ordered the university Harvard deliver Documents About them Foreign students Thanks to the administrative request, claiming that he refused to do this voluntarily.
In a new climb in the struggle between the Donald Trump government and universities, the immigration service (ICE), depending on DHS, demanded that Harvard give him “relevant” documents for “compliance with the laws on migration from January 1, 2020,” the statement said.
“Harvard, like other universities, allowed foreign students to abuse their privileges and protect violence and terrorism in campus,” said Trish Mclaflin, deputy secretary of DHS, who said that the university “rejected cooperation” in previous requests.
Harvard is one of the universities in which their financing threatened the reports of the “federal working group to combat anti -Semitism” created by Trump, in which it is accused of applying the policy of “positive discrimination” and does not take into account what the government considers the “diversity of ideas”.
University newspaper Harvard Crimson said that the university provided documentation related to Foreign studentsBut the government considered it insufficient and, therefore, ordered to prohibit their exchange programs and impose a veto of foreign students and scientists.
The university condemned in June in a court, which Veto on Veto of the Trump government, and in the same month the federal judge blocked its execution for an indefinite period while the trial continues.
Harvard’s press secretary expressed his commitment to the law, but described the requirements of “unjustified” and “repression” DHS to claim their autonomy against the “extralymithing” of the government in relation to “who can recognize and hire private universities and what they can teach.”
Harvard also condemned the Trump government in April in order to restore its federal funding, about $ 2 billion, which are frozen for being subjected to alleged anti -Semitic behavior.
DHS said that the administrative demand was his “only option” to force Harvard to deliver the documents that he wanted, and called on other academic institutions in which he asked for the same to “take into account Harvard and the consequences.”
