CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS:

Demonstrations were held at schools including Harvard, where President Donald Trump's administration says it will freeze $2.2 billion in grants and contracts and is threatening to revoke the university's ability to host international students.

Rochelle Sun, a graduate student at Harvard's Department of Government, said she came to stick up for international students because they're integral to the school's mission of pushing "the boundaries of human knowledge".
