  • where the police reform movement is five years after the killing of George Floyd,

  • and get ready to say goodbye to the penny.

  • But first, the Trump administration says Harvard can no longer enroll international students

  • and that existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status.

  • The move comes as the administration has been trying to pressure Harvard,

  • the nation's oldest and wealthiest university, to conform to its policies and political leanings.

  • In a post on X, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, quote,

  • it is a privilege, not a right for universities to enroll foreign students.

  • And she said this was a warning to other universities, telling them to get your act together.

  • Previously,

  • DHS had threatened to revoke the university's ability to enroll these students

  • if Harvard did not turn over records of what Noem claimed were illegal and violent activities from international students on campus.

  • In this new letter,

  • Noem said their international program certification could be renewed

  • if records are sent within 72 hours.
