The administration of President Donald Trump has finally blocked the ability of Harvard University to enroll international students, CNBC reported Thursday.
The development comes amid an ongoing legal battle between the Ivy League school and the Trump administration.
“I am writing to inform you that effective immediately, Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification is revoked,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in a letter to Harvard, a copy of which The New York Times said it had obtained.
Noem had earlier in April threatened to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll international students.
She warned the university at that time that its certification to enroll foreign students was contingent upon complying with federal immigration laws.
