A new episode in the tense story between Harvard University and Donald Trump: the presidential administration has again begun to send out subpoenas demanding the transfer of data on foreigners studying at the university. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the mailing list: its representatives assure that this is a forced measure that they had to take due to the university's unwillingness to cooperate with the country's leadership.
Administrative subpoenas oblige Harvard to provide extensive information since January 2020 about 7000 students from other countries, but in what form it should be provided is not said in open sources. Last time, the requests included video and audio recordings of foreign students participating in pro-Palestinian protests, internal emails and administrative documents.
The leadership of the American university continues to insist on its innocence and law-abiding behavior of students - representatives of Harvard University are ready to respond to legally justified requests in their direction.
Recall that on April 16, the university publicly refused to comply with government requirements, which was followed by a reaction from the Secretary of Homeland Security, who decided to deprive Harvard of the opportunity to accept foreign students. However, a few days later, the Supreme Court blocked the minister's radical proposal, and it is difficult to predict how the situation will go further.
