International students at Harvard University are taking a stand against the Trump administration's immigration policies, sparked by concerns over increased scrutiny and vetting processes. According to reports, students from Iran, China, and other countries have filed lawsuits against the Department of Homeland Security for what they perceive as discriminatory practices.
The students are demanding greater transparency and fair treatment when it comes to visa approvals and renewals, citing a rise in visa denials and delays. Their protests have gained traction amongst their peers and student organizations, with rallies and marches planned in the coming weeks.
President Trump's stance on immigration has long been a contentious issue, with his administration tightening restrictions on foreign nationals entering the United States. This latest wave of international student activism at Harvard serves as a reminder of the ongoing tensions between the administration and the academic community.
As the lawsuit against DHS continues to unfold, the fate of international students at Harvard and beyond remains uncertain. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
