Harvard University PhD student Zilin Ma, who is from China, joins Ana Cabrera to react to the Trump administration’s threats to ban the enrollment of international students and to end federal contracts with the school.

That sense of uncertainty hit many international students last Thursday, when the US Department of Homeland Security moved to ban them from attending Harvard. The plan — temporarily blocked by a court order a day later — marked a serious escalation in a months-long battle between President Donald Trump’s administration and the Ivy League college.

International students, including ones from Colombia, Israel, and Bangladesh, condemned the move and called on Harvard to do more to protect them. The post ‘Scapegoated and targeted’: Harvard international students react to Trump’s order to block them from enrolling appeared first on Boston.
