Noem Nixes Harvard Visas: Fox News Politics Newsletter May 22, 2025
In a recent update from the Fox News Politics newsletter, the House GOP leadership is celebrating a victory after passing what President Trump has called his “one big, beautiful bill.” This legislative success comes amidst a flurry of other political news, including a reported “security incident” outside the CIA headquarters and revelations from a new book about concerns within Joe Biden’s inner circle regarding his age.
One of the most striking developments is the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to eliminate the student visa program at Harvard University. According to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, this drastic measure is a response to what the agency perceives as Harvard’s refusal to comply with requests for behavioral records of student visa holders. Noem accuses the university of fostering violence, antisemitism, and even coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus. This move serves as a warning to other academic institutions across the country about the consequences of non-compliance with federal laws.
Meanwhile, in the White House, Trump’s second-term approval ratings have dipped despite gains in border security. A federal judge has blocked the administration’s attempts to dismantle the Department of Education, and a new book sheds light on efforts by a top Biden communications staffer to cover up the former vice president’s cognitive decline.
On the world stage, legislation is being proposed to prevent foreign adversaries from acquiring American assets, while the Red Cross is working to alleviate a “catastrophic” situation in Gaza. Republicans are also looking to halt China’s alleged tariff-dodging scheme.
In Capitol Hill news, Democrats predict that passing Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” will cost many Republicans their seats in the upcoming election. Ilhan Omar has refused to answer questions about a fatal shooting at the Israeli Embassy, and there is ongoing drama surrounding stock trading in Congress.
Across America, the White House has condemned the “evil of antisemitism” following a shooting at the Israeli Embassy. ICE has launched a nationwide effort to arrest illegal aliens at immigration hearings, and RFK Jr.’s report on child health raises national security concerns. The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a ruling in Oklahoma is seen as a blow to religious charter schools.
