WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the cancellation on Wednesday of two DHS grants totaling over $2.7 million to Harvard University.

"This action follows President Donald J. Trump's decision to freeze $2.2 billion in federal funding to Harvard University, proposing the revocation of its tax-exempt status over its radical ideology," Noem said in a statement.
