The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is eliminating the student visa program at Harvard University due to "pro-terrorist conduct" at campus protests, Fox News Digital has learned.It's a severe consequence for what DHS claims is Harvard's refusal to comply with its requests for behavioral records of student visa holders."This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus," said Secretary Kristi Noem. "It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country."Harvard may no longer enroll foreign students in the 2025-2026 school year, and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status to reside in the U.S. before the next academic year begins.RUBIO FIRES BACK AFTER DEM SENATOR SAYS HE REGRETS VOTING FOR HIM OVER VISA REVOCATIONS"As a result of your brazen refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas rhetoric, and employs racist diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, you have lost this privilege," Noem wrote in a letter to Maureen Martin, the universitys director of immigration services.Noem offered Harvard 72 hours to provide the information requested for an opportunity to regain its visa program for the next school year.She called the move the "direct result of Harvards epic failure to comply with simple reporting requirements."The records requested include any footage of protest activity involving students on visas and the disciplinary records of all students on visas in the last five years.Noem said last month she had requested records related to visa-holding students enrolled in the university andHarvards counsel did not provide adequate information to meet the demand. After the DHS general counsel asked again for the information, Harvard provided an "insufficient, incomplete and unacceptable response," she said."Consequences must follow to send a clear signal to Harvard and all universities that want to enjoy the privilege of enrolling foreign students, that the Trump administration will enforce the law and root out the evils of antisemitism in society and campuses.Requested records also include footage or documentation of illegal, dangerous or violent activity by student visa holders, any records of threats or the deprivation of rights of other students or university personnel.Harvard could not immediately be reached for comment.Last month, Harvard announced it would allow foreign students to accept admission to both Harvard and a foreign university as backup amid the Trump administrations threats to move to block Harvards authorization to host them. Typically, students must accept enrollment at Harvard by May 1 and cant commit to another university.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BEGINS NEW WAVE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENT VISA REVOCATIONS: NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO A VISA'At least a dozen Harvard students have had their authorization to study in the U.S. revoked over campus protest activity.The Trump administration has already frozen close to $3 billion in federal funding to the university, largely dedicated to research, and launched investigations across the departments of Justice, Education and Health and Human Services. They claim that Harvard has failed to address campus antisemitism and eradicate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in its policies.Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Congress this week that the State Department had probably revoked "thousands" of student visas by this point and would "proudly" revoke more."We're going to continue to revoke the visas of people who are here as guests and are disrupting our higher education facilities," he said Tuesday. "A visa is a privilege, not a right."The crackdown on university policies comes after a wave of pro-Gaza student protests and encampments swept schools across the nation since the beginning of Israels offensive campaign to eradicate Hamas after the October 7 attacks to pressure university administrations to divest from Israel.

One of the nation's most highly ranked high schools is once again in the spotlight over its admissions policies after the U.S. Department of Education announced it would be launching an investigation into the matter.The announcement comes after the state's Republican Attorney General, Jason Miyares, said his office has found reasonable cause after a multi-year investigation determining that Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST), which is overseen by Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) system, operates an admissions process that discriminates against applicants of Asian heritage."The Fairfax County School Board made clear its intended outcome was to reduce opportunities for Asian American studentsand thats exactly what occurred,"Miyares said. "These students are not statistics. They are sons and daughters, neighbors, classmates and Virginians who deserve equal protection and opportunity under the law."The controversy began in 2020 when TJHSST made changes to its admissions policies to sensibly promote diversity. This was done through the elimination of standardized testing and application fees for interested students, implementing a holistic review process that considers factors like socioeconomic status and geographical location, and seething aside a certain number of spots for students from each middle school in the county.FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP ADMIN MOVES TO DISMANTLE DEPT OF EDUCATIONIn response, parents filed a lawsuit against the district, alleging that the new admissions policy discriminated against asian students. A federal district court subsequently ruled in favor of the parents, but that ruling was later overturned by a federal appeals court.The U.S. Supreme Court eventually declined to hear the case, effectively cementing the appeals court's ruling. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented and warned of the possible implications the appeals court's ruling could have for other admissions policies at other schools across the country.BIDEN EDUCATION DEPT PUT PRIORITY ON PRONOUNS, LEFT BACKLOG OF NEARLY 200 ANTISEMITISM COMPLAINTS: OFFICIALMiyares has been investigating TJHSST's admissions policies since 2023, concluding this week that there was reasonable cause to determine FCPS was "discriminating against Asian American students."According to Miyares, when TJHSST first implemented its new admissions policy, Asian American students made up over 65% of the school's admitted classes. But over a period of just one year, Asian American admissions dropped 19 points, he noted."Internal communications confirm that this outcome was intentional. The Board reviewed proposal after proposal until it could guarantee the racial diversity the Board was after," Miyares office said. "And in the zero-sum game of school admissions, achieving the Boards preferred racial balance meant that fewer Asian American students would be accepted."SPARKS FLY BETWEEN EDUCATION SECRETARY LINDA MCMAHON AND DEM REP. WATSON COLEMAN: 'YOU SHOULD FEEL SHAMEFUL'The Department of Justice said Wednesday it would work with the Department of Education to probe the potential Title VI violation, after Miyares' office referred the matter to them for investigation. The Trump administration has threatened to withhold funding from schools over potentially discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion programs.In a statement to Fox News Digital, FCPS said the matter has already been adjudicated by the courts, which it said have determined there is no merit behind the allegations that its admissions policies are discriminatory.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPNonetheless, the statement said the district was reviewing materials from the Attorney General and will issue a more detailed response in the near future."This matter has already been fully litigated.A federal appellate court determined there was no merit to arguments that the admissions policy for Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology discriminates against any group of students," the statement read. "Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) division leadership and counsel are currently reviewing the documents released today by the Attorney General and will issue a more detailed response in the coming days. FCPS remains committed to providing a world-class education for all of our students."

The White House pushed back against statements from a reporter challenging statements from the Trump administration regarding the treatment of White South African farmers after President Donald Trump showed a video allegedly depicting burial sites of them at the White House on Wednesday.While hosting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump aired a video in the Oval Office that showed white crosses that Trump said were approximately 1,000 burial sites of White Afrikaner South African farmers. Trump has claimed these farmers are being forced off of their land.But Yamiche Alcindor with NBC News questioned White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on the credibility of the video, amid reports that the crosses were from a memorial demonstration following the murder of a White farming couple, not actual burial sites.TRUMP CONFRONTS SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT WITH VIDEO ON TREATMENT OF WHITE FARMERS"We know that that was not true and that the video wasn't true," Alcindor said during the White House press briefing on Thursday.Leavitt and Alcindor sparred and talked over one another, with Alcindor asking "what protocols are in place when there's unsubstantiated information being put out for the world and world leaders?"Leavitt then stepped in and ended the exchange, claiming the video was not unsubstantiated."What's unsubstantiated about the video?" Leavitt said. "The video shows crosses that represent the dead bodies of people who were racially persecuted by their government. In fact, the Associated Press, of all places, has a picture of that very monument in the caption from the Associated Press is Each cross marks a white farmer who has been killed in a farm murder."TRUMP TO MEET LEADER OF OUT OF CONTROL' SOUTH AFRICA AT WHITE HOUSE"So it is substantiated. But it's not just by that video and the physical evidence that everybody saw on display in the Oval Office, but also by another outlet in this from the Associated Press," Leavitt said. "So you should take it up with them if you believe the claim is unsubstantiated. And that's a ridiculous line of questioning."The crosses depicted were part of a demonstration that occurred after a white, farming couple was killed in 2020, according to the Associated Press, citing local news reports from South Africa.Trump told Ramaphosa at the White House that the burial sites by the side of the road are visited by those who want to "pay respects to their family member who was killed.""Have they told you where that is, Mr. President? I'd like to know where that is. Because this I've never seen," Ramaphosa said."I mean, its in South Africa, thats where," Trump said."We need to find out," Ramaphosa said.Fox News Greg Norman contributed to this report.

The bombing killed the suspect and injured four others.Authorities identified the perpetrator of the incident as a 26-year-old suspect motivated by a fringe ideology known as "pro-mortalism.""Pro-mortalism,"a radical offshootof anti-natalism, views human reproduction as inherently immoral and embraces death as a moral corrective.According to federal and local law enforcement, the suspect targeted the American Reproductive Centers facility specifically to destroy human embryos stored on-site.FBI IDENTIFIES IVF CLINIC BOMBER AS 'PRO-MORTALIST' WHO OPPOSED BIRTH WITHOUT CONSENTSurveillance footage and online postings suggest he parked in the rear of the building to remain unnoticed, ingested drugs and then detonated an explosive device killing himself in the process.The FBI has classified the bombing as an act of domestic terrorism, citing the ideological motivation behind the violence.Officials have said that it is the first high-profile case linked to the pro-mortalist ideology and are now monitoring it as a potential emerging threat. Authorities have urged families and communities to remain vigilant for signs of ideological extremism, especially among those who may feel disenfranchised.Earlier this month, a former Michigan Army National Guard member,Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said,19, was arrested for allegedly planning a mass shooting near the U.S. Armys Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) center at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan.Said planned to carry out the attack on behalf of ISIS.Said "launched his drone in support of the attack plan" and told an undercover FBI agent in the lead-up to the foiled plot he recommended that "everyone have about seven magazines because you dont want to be in there and run out of ammo," according to officials.KASH PATEL DELIVERS FIERY WARNING AFTER FBI DISRUPTS MASS SHOOTING TERROR PLOT TARGETING MILITARYSaid is now facing charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and distributing information related to a destructive device.

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from terminating the legal status of international students while a court case challenging previous terminations is pending amid a crackdown on illegal behavior on college campuses.California U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White barred the government from arresting or incarcerating the plaintiffs and similar students and from transferring any of them outside the jurisdiction of their residence.His order also prohibits the administration from imposing any adverse legal effect on students and from reversing the reinstatement of the legal status until the case is resolved.However, students can still be arrested for committing violent crimes.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BEGINS NEW WAVE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENT VISA REVOCATIONS: NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO A VISA'The governments actions "wreaked havoc not only on the lives of Plaintiffs here but on similarly situated F-1 nonimmigrants across the United States and continue to do so," said White.More than 4,700 international students had their permission to study in the U.S. canceled this spring as the Trump administration cracked down on foreign nationals protesting on American university campuses.Department of Homeland Security officials said they ran the names of student visa holders through an FBI-run database that contains the names of suspects and people who have been arrested, even if the charges were dropped or they were never charged with a crime.Some students have left the U.S. rather than risk arrest or deportation.RUBIO FIRES BACK AFTER DEM SENATOR SAYS HE REGRETS VOTING FOR HIM OVER VISA REVOCATIONSThe government contends it was exercising its ability to enforce the Immigration and Nationality Act. DHS officials said the students don't need the court's protection because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reinstated legal status and was mailing status reactivation letters to affected students.However, White said the erroneous revocations remained on the students' record, impacting their ability to obtain a new visa or change their nonimmigrant status.Trump has targeted college students and universities amid a crackdown on antisemitism and other illegal behavior. On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security said it was eliminating the student visa program at Harvard University due to "pro-terrorist conduct" at campus protests. The Ivy League school has failed to comply with its requests for the behavioral records of student visa holders, DHS said."This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus," said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
