Harvard University announced on 23 May that it is suing the White House for what it called “clear retaliation” against the school for “exercising its First Amendment rights” after the government barred international student enrollment.

US President Donald Trump has sought to punish colleges and universities where student protests against Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza have taken place.

International students are a large source of income for many US colleges and universities.

On Thursday, Trump blocked Harvard’s ability to enroll international students, requested that Harvard’s international student records be provided within 72 hours, and said those currently enrolled should transfer to another school or leave the country.
