President Trump is again targeting Harvard University, days after his administration’s move to revoke the school’s ability to enroll international students was blocked by a judge.
In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said the home countries of some of Harvard’s international students are “not at all friendly to the United States” and “pay NOTHING toward their student’s education.”

He added that the administration wants to “to know who those foreign students are” and that “Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming.”
Harvard did not immediately reply to NPR’s request for comment Sunday morning.
Trump’s latest attack against Harvard comes two days after a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the administration from being able to revoke the university’s ability to enroll international students.
The university had argued that the Trump administration’s revocation was a “blatant violation of the First Amendment” and punished the school for rejecting “the government’s demands to control Harvard’s governance, curriculum, and the ‘ideology’ of its faculty and students.”
In April the federal government froze more than $2.2 billion in grants and contracts to Harvard after school officials rebuffed the administration’s demands that it alter some of its policies, such as those related to hiring and admissions.
Last week Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement that the administration was “holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus” by issuing the revocation.

But Judge Allison Burroughs temporarily blocked the move, which Harvard President Alan Garber said was “a critical step to protect the rights and opportunities of our international students and scholars, who are vital to the University’s mission and community.”
International students comprise about 27% of Harvard’s student body and typically are ineligible for federal financial aid.
Garber said a hearing to determine whether the temporary restraining order should be extended is scheduled for Thursday.

Mass shooting at Austin, Texas bar leaves at least 3 dead, 14 wounded, authorities say
Gunfire rang out at a bar in Austin, Texas, early Sunday and at least three people were killed, the city’s police chief said.
Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis told reporters the shooter was killed by officers at the scene.
Fourteen others were hospitalized and three were in critical condition, Austin-Travis County EMS Chief Robert Luckritz said.
“We received a call at 1:39 a.m. and within 57 seconds, the first paramedics and officers were on scene actively treating the patients,” Luckritz said.
There was no initial word on the shooter’s identity or motive.
Davis noted how fortunate it was that there was a heavy police presence in Austin’s entertainment district at the time, enabling officers to respond quickly as bars were closing.
“Officers immediately transitioned … and were faced with the individual with a gun,” Davis said. “Three of our officers returned fire, killing the suspect.”
She called the shooting a “tragic, tragic” incident.
Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said his heart goes out to the victims, and he praised the swift response of first responders.
“They definitely saved lives,” he said.
Davis said federal law enforcement is aiding the investigation.
