False. The claim that President Donald Trump signed an executive order raising the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour is entirely false. Multiple fact-checking organizations, including Snopes, have confirmed that this claim is not true.
Trump Administration Threatens Harvard with Foreign Student Ban
The Trump administration has indeed threatened to revoke Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has demanded that Harvard provide detailed records of foreign student visa holders’ “illegal and violent activities” by April 30. If Harvard fails to comply, it will lose its Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification, effectively preventing it from enrolling international students.
This move is part of a broader crackdown by the Trump administration on what it perceives as anti-American and antisemitic activities at the university. The administration has also canceled $2.7 million in grants to Harvard and threatened to strip the university of its tax-exempt status.
While the claim about raising the federal minimum wage is false, the Trump administration’s actions against Harvard are real and significant. These actions have sparked widespread concern about the impact on academic freedom and international student enrollment in the United States.
