(NewsNation) — In recent months, the Trump administration has gone up against Harvard University and other Ivy League schools over on-campus protests and policies.
The White House has recently frozen visa interviews with international student visa holders and has threatened to revoke the visas of Chinese students. Interviews were frozen because the agency wanted to expand social media screening and vetting.
President Donald Trump said the move would determine whether foreign students being let into the country were “troublemakers” and that he wants to ensure admitted students are those who “love our country.”
Attorney Alan Dershowitz told NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas that a lot of politicians and progressives who have stood behind the campus protesters have egg on their face, and that it was a bad look to support them.
“We are picking our wrong heroes,” Dershowitz said.
Dershowitz added the Trump administration’s measure of revoking student visas and canceling visa interviews is a good preventive measure in ensuring the safety of U.S. citizens.
