    The Department of Homeland Security said it revoked Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification because the private school’s leadership “has created an unsafe campus environment by permitting anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals, including many Jewish students, and otherwise obstruct its once-venerable learning environment.”

    “Many of these agitators are foreign students,” DHS said.

    DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who ordered the revocation, said, “Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”

    We know that’s all a pack of lies. These fascists pick their enemies, then pick the lies to pursue them with.

        The damn dean could have invited Kanye to do a standup routine that is just roman salutes and this would still have been an extremely gross violation of every democratic principle that would have gotten any other president impeached.

        However in Trump’s America it’s just a Thursday and the so-called opposition is just nodding along and dutifully complying with every unconstitutional order. At this point Trump could sign an executive order for every registered democrat to literally dig their own grave and I think a majority would actually do it.

    Harvard called Noem’s action “unlawful.”

    I wonder who has better lawyers when this goes to court - the Trump regime or Harvard. 🤔

    If a university in the US has lawyers and good connections to lawyers elsewhere, it is probably Harvard. This is going to be very interesting.
