The United States — United States Department of Homeland Security announced the action, accusing Harvard University of creating an unsafe campus environment by allowing 'anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators' and coordinating with the China — Chinese Communist Party. Kristi Noem, Secretary of the United States — United States Department of Homeland Security, demanded Harvard University provide records on foreign students' protest activities to regain its ability to host them. Alan Garber, President of Harvard University, has stated the university will not budge on its core principles and will support its international students.
