Lawyers for the Trump administration said in a notice that the government will give Harvard University 30 days to provide evidence in response to the White House’s move to strip the Ivy League college of its ability to enroll foreign students.

In a court filing dated May 29, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that on May 28 it sent Harvard a notice of intent to withdraw the school’s certification under the federal Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), which allows Harvard to enroll non-U.S. students.
