Massachusetts Congressman Stephen Lynch is outraged by the Trump administration's effort to ban foreign students. "It will take years, maybe decades to repair the damage that Donald Trump and that group of morons and buffoons is doing to this country each and every day," Rep. Lynch said. "It's just disgraceful."

The administration has frozen funding and targeted international students as it presses the university for a stronger response to alleged antisemitism.

The pressure campaign to try to force the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university to fall in line with President Trump’s agenda has sprawled beyond just one singular task force or agency.
