Murphy at #nokings: "The president of the United States during a shutdown, or even when the government is open, does not have the power to send masked men into our cities and pull off the streets our peaceful neighbors, and throw them into the back of vans and into prisons."

Today, remember we have the freedom to choose our representatives, and when they let us down & enact laws that will cause citizens to needlessly suffer, we can dissent. We can organize. And we can elect leaders who will work for the people in their districts. My statement on behalf of WI-08.

Trump administration can't require states to cooperate with ICE to get transportation funding, judge says A judge said the Trump administration cannot tie federal transportation funding to cooperation with immigration authorities.

"A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from requiring almost two dozen mostly Democratic states to cooperate with federal immigration authorities in order to receive billions in transportation funding."

Regardless of your party, you should see that this is what fascism looks like.

For defying him, Trump zeroed out Harvard’s research funds and is now blocking its ability to host international studentsβ€”demanding that they force 6800 current such students to transfer.

Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus. 

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's Student and Exchange Visitor Program Decertification
I am writing to inform you that effective immediately, Harvard University's Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification is revoked.
As I explained to you in my April letter, it is a privilege to enroll foreign students, and it is also a privilege to employ aliens on campus. All universities must comply with Department of Homeland Security requirements, including reporting requirements under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program regulations, to maintain this privilege. As a result of your 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 sympathies, and employs racist "diversity, equity, and inclusion" policies, you have lost this privilege.
The revocation of your Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification means that Harvard is prohibited from having any aliens on F- or J- nonimmigrant status for the 2025-2026 academic school year. This decertification also means that existing aliens on F- or J- nonimmigrant status must transfer to another university in order to maintain their nonimmigrant status.
This action should not surprise you and is the unfortunate result of Harvard's failure to comply with simple reporting requirements.
On April 16, 2025, I requested records pertaining to nonimmigrant students enrolled at Harvard University, including information regarding misconduct and other offenses that would render foreign students inadmissible or removable. On April 30, 2025, Harvard's counsel provided information that he represented as responsive to my request. It was not.
As a courtesy that Harvard was not legally entitled to, the Acting DHS General Counsel responded on my behalf and afforded Harvard another opportunity to comply. Harvard again provided an insufficient response.
Consequences must follow to send a clear signal to…

Here's the letter Noem sent Harvard, as posted on X. Nothing alleges ANY specific violation of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. Nothing. She cites no law violated, no regulation broken, no policy ignored.

I don't care what you think of Harvard; this is clear weaponization of government.

If you are not aware: students only 'fall out of status' if they don't attend classes, or are not enrolled full time (e.g. Musk's original visa). Their schools lawfully control this determination. If they commit a crime, their visas can be reviewed/revoked. The process described here is extralegal.
