Absolutely they have explicit powers to do this. Harvard is refusing to comply with the requirements of the visa program that allows them to bring student into the country so the administration is removing Harvard from the program.

There is little to no chance of this getting overturned.

That's a weird way of phrasing things. Harvard isn't "bringing students into the country" in the way an employer might relocate an employee.

People want to study in the US, and the administration is revoking Harvard's ability to be on the list of study destinations.

The students want to go to Harvard, it's not that Harvard wants the students (of course they do, but that's not the direct concern here).

There is a 99% chance of this getting overturned.

Harvard will sue, lose in court, and then give DHS everything they want at which point they'll get their visas back.

They just want to pretend to be the victim for a while so that their overwhelmingly far-left faculty don't leave.
