Trump halts entry of foreign students seeking to attend Harvard

President Donald Trump has issued an order barring foreign students from entering the U.S. to study at Harvard University in an escalation of his fight with America’s oldest university.
The president said in a statement announcing the order Wednesday that he has also empowered Secretary of State Marco Rubio to begin revoking visas of foreign students at the Ivy League school.
The decision, Trump said in the statement, was made because the university refused to share information about “known illegal activity” committed by its international students.
The order came even though a federal judge in May issued an injunction blocking the administration from preventing Harvard from enrolling international students as part of the effort to punish the school for alleged antisemitism and civil rights violations. The university says it has been working to address those issues on its own.
