Case 1:25-cv-11472 Document 1 Filed 05/23/25 Page 2 of 72 1. For more than 70 years, Harvard University ("Harvard" or the "University") has been certified by the federal government to enroll international students under the F-1 visa program, and it has long been designated as an exchange program sponsor to host J-1 nonimmigrants. Harvard has, over this time, developed programs and degrees tailored to its international students, invested millions to recruit the most talented such students, and integrated its international students into all aspects of the Harvard community. Yesterday, the government abruptly revoked that certification without process or cause, to immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders. 2. This revocation is a blatant violation of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act. It is the latest act by the government in clear retaliation for Harvard exercising its First Amendment rights to reject the government's demands to control Harvard's governance, curriculum, and the "ideology" of its faculty and students. The government's actions are unlawful for other equally clear and pernicious reasons. They disregard the government's own regulations-under which Harvard should remain certified to host F-1 and J-1 visa holders. They depart from decades of settled practice and come without rational explanation. And they were carried out abruptly without any of the robust procedures the government has established to prevent just this type of upheaval to thousands of students' lives.

REQUEST FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Harvard respectfully requests the following relief: A. Declare that Defendants' actions to revoke Harvard's SEVP certification through 69 Case 1:25-cv-11472 Document 1 Filed 05/23/25 Page 71 of 72 B. D. the Revocation Notice are unconstitutional and/or unlawful because they violate the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the APA; Preliminarily and permanently enjoin Defendants, their agents, and anyone acting in concert or participation with Defendants from implementing, instituting, maintaining, or giving effect to the unlawful revocation of Harvard's SEVP certification; Preliminarily and permanently enjoin Defendants, their agents, and anyone acting in concert or participation with Defendants from giving any force or effect to the Department of Homeland Security's May 22, 2025 Revocation Notice; Permanently enjoin Defendants, their agents, and anyone acting in concert or participation with Defendants from issuing a NOW or otherwise initiating proceedings to withdraw Harvard's SEVP certification in retaliation for Harvard's exercise of its rights under the First Amendment, or because of the viewpoint of Harvard's First Amendment protected speech, or because of Harvard's refusal to comply with the April 11 Demand Letter.

It's a grim day in one of the grimmest weeks in recent memory, but we keep going. We'll be live at 4 PM ET to discuss the apparent demises of Polygon and Giant Bomb, as well as EA layoffs and one recent development we're actually enjoying: Clair Obscur, which rules

The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

it's almost like, and bear with me on this, public opinion might move on these issues if there was a whole network of politicians, pundits, and aligned media doing everything in their power to highlight the abuses and unpopular aspects of the deportation regime instead of triangulating on it

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PERKINS COIE LLP, Plaintiff, Civil Action No. 1:25-cv-00716-BAH V. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, et al., Defendants. DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISQUALIFY JUDGE BERYL HOWELL Fair proceedings free from any suggestion of impartiality are essential to the integrity of our country's judiciary and the need to curtail ongoing improper encroachments of President Trump's Executive Power playing out across the country. In this case, reasonable observers may well view this Court as insufficiently impartial to adjudicate the meritless challenges to President Trump's efforts to implement the agenda that the American people elected him to carry out. In fact, this Court has repeatedly demonstrated partiality against and animus towards the President.

CONCLUSION Defendants deserve a court proceeding free from concerns about impartiality. In order to remove the possibility of any impartiality to these proceedings, Defendants respectfully request that this Court recuse itself and return this matter to assignment before a judge free from any appearance of hostility toward this Administration and is otherwise unconnected with any matter related to the Mueller Report or Durham Investigation. Dated: March 21, 2025 Respectfully Submitted, Washington, DC CHAD MIZELLE Acting Associate Attorney General /s/ Richard Lawson RICHARD LAWSON Deputy Associate Attorney General
