Will U.S deport 10,000 foreign students after Donald Trump's Harvard ban? Here's what you should know
The Trump administration has blocked
Harvard University
from accepting foreign students. This action puts the future of 6,800 international students in doubt. Out of these, 800 students are from India, as per reports.
These students were in the US on F-1 or J-1 visas, but now those visas are in danger since Harvard's certification has been revoked. Without this certification from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, Harvard can't legally admit foreign students anymore.
Students who are about to graduate and get their degrees soon are safe, according to the report by India Today. Students have only 2 options, either join another SEVP-certified university, or face deportation, since they will lose their legal right to stay in the US.
The Department of Homeland Security has given Harvard 72 hours to fix the situation. In these 3 days, if Harvard submits 6 specific records, it can get back the ability to enroll foreign students.
Harvard Submission of Records
Live Events
Harvard must submit all of these records from the past 5 years, any records whether it's official or unofficial, including emails, videos, etc., about illegal activity by any non-immigrant student, whether it happened on or off campus. Any records showing dangerous or violent actions by any foreign student, again, on or off campus.
All information about threats made by foreign students to other students or university staff. Any record of violating the rights of classmates or university staff by foreign students. Disciplinary records of all non-immigrant students enrolled in the past 5 years. Video or audio of protests on campus involving foreign students in the last 5 years.
The Trump administration has been in a dispute with Harvard recently over 'campus antisemitism', and this may be linked to the decision, says reports.
FAQs
Q1. Will foreign students be deported from Harvard?
Only if Harvard doesn't meet U.S. government rules in 72 hours.
Q2. Can students transfer to another college?
Yes, they can join another SEVP-approved university to stay legally.

How Trump-Musk break-up can severely affect NASA and its future space missions
America's ambitious space plans for the coming years could become one of the biggest casualties of the sudden and dramatic falling out of United States President Donald Trump and the world's richest person Elon Musk. Over the last few years, the US space agency NASA has developed a significant dependency on Musk's company SpaceX that would inevitably set back NASA's plans by several years if a decoupling were to occur. It would also seriously jeopardise space missions such as the one being executed by Axiom Space, a private US company, next week. This mission, Axiom-4, is carrying four astronauts, including India's Shubhanshu Shukla, to the International Space Station (ISS). The rocket as well as the main spacecraft being used for this mission are those of SpaceX. Musk and Trump are engaged in a bitter war of words on social media, triggered by Musk's strong criticism of a Congressional tax Bill that he claims will result in a massive increase in the national debt. Trump has hit back saying Musk was concerned about the bill's provisions relating to tax credits on electric vehicles (EVs), which could adversely affect Tesla, the EV company of Musk. Trump went on to say that the easiest way to save government money — 'billions and billions of dollars' — was to terminate government contracts and subsidies for Musk's companies. Musk retorted that in the light of the President's statement, SpaceX would begin decommissioning of its Dragon spacecraft 'immediately'. He relented a few hours later, saying the decommissioning won't happen. The incident might have cooled down for now, but Musk's threat to decommission the Dragon spacecraft revealed the vulnerability of NASA which is now dependent on private companies for many critical systems in the space programme. Much of it has been actively encouraged by NASA to create a vibrant public-private space ecosystem that allows it to focus mainly on more ambitious planetary exploration activities while leaving the more routine and mundane jobs like transportation to private companies. NASA's reliance on SpaceX The Crew Dragon spacecraft of SpaceX is currently the only reliable vehicle that NASA has to transport astronauts to and from the ISS, a permanent laboratory in space, about 400 km from Earth, that is manned throughout the year. The ISS is used mainly by astronauts from the US and Russia, but occasionally those from other countries also make short visits, just like Shukla's crew would be doing next week. The astronauts on ISS are typically changed twice a year. In addition, three to four cargo missions are also sent to the ISS every year. Russian astronauts typically travel in the Soyuz spacecraft built by the Russian agency Roscosmos. But NASA has discontinued its space shuttle programme, which included vehicles such as Atlantis, Discovery or Endeavour, primarily on cost considerations. The last NASA space shuttle mission was flown in Atlantis in 2011. These space shuttles used to be launched by NASA's own rockets. The discontinuation of the space shuttle programme stopped the production of these rockets as well. Between 2011 and 2020, NASA used the Russian transport, Soyuz, for travel to the ISS. After that, it has been hiring SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, which launches exclusively on the Falcon 9 rocket, also of SpaceX. NASA has also contracted other companies, notably Boeing, to transport astronauts and cargo to the ISS. Boeing's Starliner has carried out a few cargo sorties but its first crewed mission, carrying Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, last year was a troubled one. The Starliner, which uses Boeing's Atlas rockets to launch, managed to drop the astronauts at the ISS, but was rendered risky for a return journey due to a technical glitch. The two astronauts were stranded at the ISS for nine months before a SpaceX mission brought them back in February this year. The ISS missions are only one part of NASA's increasing reliance on SpaceX. Musk's company, which started in 2006 and has grown to become the largest private space corporation, is heavily involved with the Artemis programme as well, the ambitious NASA plan to get humans back to the Moon, this time for extended periods of time. The crewed missions under the Artemis programme are expected to use the Starship spacecraft of SpaceX. The first of the crewed missions is scheduled for 2027. Extra-planetary exploration missions, like those to Saturn, are also being done in collaboration with SpaceX. In many segments, SpaceX has developed superior technologies that have increased NASA's dependence on it. SpaceX has also created a constellation of satellites to provide Internet services around the world. NASA is not linked to this network, but some other US government agencies are, creating dependencies elsewhere too. A Reuters report said SpaceX had about $22 billion worth of government contracts, across different agencies. The contract to transport astronauts to the ISS on the Dragon spacecraft was alone worth about $5 billion, it said. Feud not over Musk may have tried to dial down a bit, but it would be premature to suggest that his feud with Trump is over. The US President has been unrelenting on the issue of continued tax concessions for EVs, even when Musk supposedly was a close friend. Now that Musk has opened a public battle, making personal attacks, the possibility of Trump suspending government contracts of Musk's companies, as he suggested in one of his social media posts, cannot be ruled out. If that happens, the implications for NASA, and America's space programme, are going to be huge. The Artemis programme would almost certainly be pushed back, and the schedule for the ISS would get badly affected. It might force NASA to scale back its involvement with other private players as well, and return to more in-house production of space systems. NASA is not expected to receive much support from Trump either. The space agency is already having a tough time under his Presidency, with prospects of big budget cuts, reduction of workforce, and shutting down of some of its offices.

"This is crazy": Chiefs' Jaylon Moore's wife calls out Donald Trump for putting women's lives at risk with shocking abortion mandate rollback
Sidney Moore has condemned the Donald Trump administration's to perform emergency abortions (Images via IG and Getty) Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Jaylon Moore's wife, Sidney Moore, has publicly expressed outrage over the Trump administration's decision to roll back a critical federal abortion mandate. The rule, originally implemented during President Joe Biden's term, required hospitals—regardless of state abortion laws—to perform emergency abortions if a woman's life or health was at risk. That rule is now being rescinded, sparking national backlash, especially from healthcare professionals like Sidney. Sidney Moore reacts with outrage to rollback of emergency care protections Sidney Moore, a registered nurse and mother of two, took to Instagram to voice her frustration. Referring to the policy reversal, she wrote, 'I have no words. This is crazy.' Her response followed a report by The Washington Post detailing how the Trump administration scrapped the Biden-era interpretation of EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act). That interpretation ensured that federally funded hospitals provided emergency abortions when medically necessary—even in states with strict abortion bans. Sidney Moore's IG story The Trump administration argued that this created legal 'confusion' and opted to eliminate the requirement, claiming EMTALA still applied—but without a mandate for emergency abortions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Can Make Massive Side Income By Learning Order Flow Analysis TradeWise Learn More Undo A voice from both the medical field and motherhood Sidney Moore isn't just speaking out as a concerned citizen. As a nurse who earned her degree in 2020 from Kankakee Community College, she brings frontline healthcare experience to the conversation. Her frustration is informed by firsthand knowledge of what it means to care for women in life-threatening medical emergencies. Her voice also carries the weight of personal experience. Sidney and Jaylon Moore are parents to two sons—the youngest, Bronsen Emmett Moore, was born in February 2024. As a mother and healthcare professional, Sidney's alarm over the policy reversal reflects deeper concerns about patient safety and women's rights. In March 2025, just after Jaylon Moore signed a $30 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, the couple tied the knot. Sidney shared photos of their wedding on Instagram, captioned: 'Forever Moore.' While she often posts about family milestones, her recent Instagram story marks a powerful shift into advocacy—using her platform to call out policies that could put women's lives at risk.

US judge halts Trump's order to suspend new visa for international students at Harvard
A federal judge late Thursday temporarily blocked a proclamation by President Donald Trump that banned foreign students from entering the US to attend Harvard University read more A federal judge has halted US President Donald Trump's latest move to block international students from coming to Harvard University. On Thursday, the US District Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order on Trump's decision. The ruling came hours after the university urged the court to step in on an emergency basis to block a proclamation Trump signed a day earlier. Trump's proclamation, issued Wednesday, was the latest attempt by his administration to prevent the nation's oldest and wealthiest college from enrolling a quarter of its students, who accounts for much of Harvard's research and scholarship. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Harvard filed a legal challenge the next day, asking for a judge to block Trump's order and calling it illegal retaliation for Harvard's rejection of White House demands. Harvard said the president was attempting an end-run around a previous court order. A few hours later, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston issued a temporary restraining order against Trump's Wednesday proclamation. Harvard, she said, had demonstrated it would sustain 'immediate and irreparable injury' before she would have an opportunity to hear from the parties in the lawsuit. Burroughs also extended the temporary hold she placed on the administration's previous attempt to end Harvard's enrollment of international students. Last month, the Department of Homeland Security revoked Harvard's certification to host foreign students and issue paperwork to them for their visas, only to have Burroughs block the action temporarily. Trump's order this week invoked a different legal authority. If Trump's measure were to survive this court challenge, it would block thousands of students who are scheduled to come to Harvard's campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the summer and fall terms. 'Harvard's more than 7,000 F-1 and J-1 visa holders — and their dependents — have become pawns in the government's escalating campaign of retaliation,' Harvard wrote Thursday in a court filing. While the court case proceeds, Harvard is making contingency plans so students and visiting scholars can continue their work at the university, President Alan Garber said in a message to the campus and alumni. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Each of us is part of a truly global university community,' Garber said Thursday. 'We know that the benefits of bringing talented people together from around the world are unique and irreplaceable.' Harvard has attracted a growing number of the brightest minds from around the world, with international enrollment growing from 11% of the student body three decades ago to 26% today. As those students wait to find out if they'll be able to attend the university, some are pursuing other options. Rising international enrollment has made Harvard and other elite colleges uniquely vulnerable to Trump's crackdown on foreign students. Republicans have been seeking to force overhauls of the nation's top colleges, which they see as hotbeds of 'woke' and antisemitic viewpoints. Garber says the university has made changes to combat antisemitism. But Harvard, he said, will not stray from its 'core, legally-protected principles,' even after receiving federal ultimatums. Trump's administration has also taken steps to withhold federal funding from Harvard and other elite colleges that have rejected White House demands related to campus protests, admissions, hiring and more. Harvard's $53 billion endowment allows it to weather the loss of funding for a time, although Garber has warned of 'difficult decisions and sacrifices' to come. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But cutting off students and visiting scholars could hamstring the university's research and global standing.
