In an unprecedented development, the Trump administration revoked Harvard University's eligibility to enrol international students, telling existing foreign students to transfer or lose their legal status, a move that can impact several students from India. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to terminate the Harvard University's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification.
