    Harvard, specifically, can no longer enroll foreign students? But other universities can?

    This seems like an EO version of a bill of attainder. IANAL, but shouldn’t this be a job for the judiciary rather than the executive branch?

      Welcome to Trump’s America. We live in a dictatorship now.

    “Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused.”

    No. Harvard IS doing the right thing, and this fascist administration is punishing them for it.

    Fuck off, Noem.

    Harvard says the administration’s move is unlawful.

    And most likely, it is.

    However, for a foreign student to enter the US currently to study (presumably for several years) does kind of feel like jumping onto a hovercraft crewed by eels.

        Which is the exact intention here… The chilling effect. Whether or not it holds up in court isn’t as important as making our country an undesirable place (in this case, for the most intelligent students in the world) to come to.

        Really smart, long term thinking there.

        Canada has good universities, and you won’t end up in a concentration camp.

    Trump is pure evil, he is only driven by greed and revenge.
    American society has become sociopathic from decades of extreme right sociopathic propaganda, which is why Trump is allowed to continue. USA has collapsed morally, and is now collapsing politically.
    It shall be interesting to see how this develops.
    We are cursed to live in interesting times, so we might as well embrace it, and be entertained.

    I’ve been warning about this moral collapse of USA for more than 20 years, but after Trump getting elected twice, I’m not sure I actually give a shit anymore.
    The rest of the world will just have to move on independent of USA.

      even before the conservative(buying) take over of most of the MSMs, they were already most leaning right wing in some form of another. America never had a chance.

      He gave a speech and or comment the other day where he said in regards to all of the bullshit power grabs are going on, paraphrasing here, that they better be careful because the shoe is going to be on the other foot one day. That the Republicans won’t be the majority forever and someday the Democrats will be and then they can take advantage of all these changes and rules. I heard that and I just fuck. First of all no it won’t. Second of all Chuck wouldn’t know what to do with it if it was. Third, just please shut up and die already you God damn dinosaur.

    Why would an international student want come to the US when they could be deported or imprisoned any day? Or if they leave the country for a trip might not be allowed back in to finish their degree?

      Because thousands of them started their studies years ago, and want to finish the degree they paid a lot of money for. This also affects current students

      It’s the ones who are already here who are most worried.
