Harvard, MIT Suing ICE To Support International Students

The US government issued an order requiring international students to leave the country if their classes are entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Harvard and MIT filed a lawsuit to challenge this order, arguing it pressures institutions to reopen without considering health risks. The Department of Homeland Security defended the order, stating that students must attend in-person classes to remain in the US. The order comes amid rising COVID-19 cases, and universities are working to ensure safe education. Harvard and MIT emphasize the importance of international students and are committed to fighting the order.
