I’m roaming around my house today ranting to anyone I come across that Nazi Germany had better Nazis. We are definitely inferior to them. So stupid. Just as hateful and villainous, though. But nobody’s perfect.
Why does the letter refer only to "nonimmigrant" students? That's with a N-O-N. Sounds to me like the entire native born student body needs to hold a good, old-fashioned water balloon fight in Harvard Yard, toilet paper a tree, video the whole thing, and send the footage to that moron Kristi Noem with a note that says, "In response to your letter, here you go."
The term "nonimmigrant" is a term of art defined by statute. A nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is admitted to the United States for a temporary period of time rather than for permanent residence. In this case, the students are defined by the visa outline in her letter.
The letter seeks information from Harvard to make a case about malfeasance involving Harvard's foreign exchange students (basically so DHS can identify them) so that the Department of Homeland Security can notify that those students violated the terms and conditions of their visa and are thus subject to DRO, or perhaps more likely, issue administrative warrants for their arrest.
Harvard has no desire to participate in that process, and thus, has engaged in litigation against the Administration, demanding that they either serve the University correctly with administrative subpoenas, or alternatively, make the proper subpoenas for national security warrants (which would be considerably harder for DHS to obtain), or go pound sand.
Instead what the Trump Administation has done has had DHS threaten schools with losing their SEVP programs, had ED threaten their access to Title VII funding programs, had the DoD threaten colleges with access to the various GI and ROTC programs, etc.
Perhaps Harvard's counsel should send it back with red pen corrections and editing. / not entirely snark

You know, funny you bring that up...
I've made this argument that they are "Lazy Nazis" by comparison. lol. They don't want to put in the hard work of fascism.
The decades long “dumbing down” of America made it all possible.
I’ve deduced the origin of Trump’s disdain for Harvard: its slogan. Veritas is his kryptonite.
They’re not Nazis, I’m sorry to have to inform them. They’re simply mobsters.
What’s your reasoning that they aren’t Nazi’s, Marcia? Just curious.
LOL. More fascist comedy gold from Kristi ChatGPT cosplay. I bet she was caressing an AR-15 as she voice prompted her AI BFF.
I'd say she dumped her vibrator for that sleek AR-15.
Her vibrator IS an AR-15
Unfuckingbelievable!🤬
I went to Harvard. Go Democracy!
It would appear that all the adults have left the DHS . . .
Vertias?? Maybe I am being a dullard, but I didn’t know the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, either.
I have been so impressed by Harvard lately that I bought a Harvard t-shirt, and I have been wearing it (at the risk of coming off as snooty).

None of that is lawful.
Got it, thanks for the explanation.
First sentence second paragraph “As I explained to you…”. Good grief- like a mob boss—
Hi Bill,
Please fix the spelling “Vertias” under the Harvard crest.

The reference to the Germans bombing Pearl Harbour is from the movie Animal House, hence the pic of John Belushi immediately following it. 😜
Oh!
Nah, they are incompetents put in charge of our nation’s government. The problem was created during the hiring process.
That’s what makes the MAGATS world class hypocrites. Every accusation is a confession.
