DOJ opens probe into Harvard's financial aid for alleged discrimination against American students
The Justice Department is reviewing whether Harvard University accepted foreign donations that improperly favored students from China and other countries over American students.
The department said Monday that Harvard’s foreign-funding disclosures raised concerns that some donors imposed nationality-based restrictions on financial aid. Officials are examining whether those arrangements violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which bars federally funded institutions from discriminating based on national origin.
"Every American student should have an equal opportunity to compete for college scholarships, grants, and other kinds of financial aid and benefits," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said in a statement.
"Schools cannot take federal dollars and then turn around and accept money from foreign sources to give financial aid that deliberately excludes American citizens — doing so is illegal, and we will stop it wherever we find it," she continued.

The DOJ said some China-based donors directed Harvard to use their money for aid programs benefiting students from particular countries. The department alleged that complying with those restrictions could disadvantage students of other nationalities, including Americans.
Officials stressed that the review remains ongoing and that the department has not reached any conclusions. The DOJ also did not identify the specific scholarships or donors under examination.
Harvard denied that its financial aid policies violate federal civil rights law.
"Harvard follows the law for required reporting of donations and, consistent with our legal obligations under Title VI, does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, or national origin in allocating financial aid," the university said in a statement.
DOJ SUES UCLA OVER ALLEGED ‘JUDENREIN’ CONDITIONS DURING ANTI-ISRAEL ENCAMPMENT
Federal law requires colleges and universities to report foreign gifts and contracts worth at least $250,000. The DOJ said a Civil Rights Division audit of those disclosures found that Harvard had reported nearly $4.5 billion in foreign funding — more than any other American university — including over $630 million from China, its largest foreign source.
The university provides need-based institutional aid to international students, while federal grants and other government assistance are generally limited to eligible US students. Harvard also uses private scholarship and employment funds to support students from outside the country.
Some private gifts have been designated for students from specific nations. In 2014, SOHO China co-founders Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin donated $15 million to support Chinese students at Harvard. The DOJ has not said whether that gift is part of its review.
The inquiry adds another front to the Trump administration’s broader conflict with Harvard. Federal officials have also scrutinized the university over alleged antisemitism, admissions practices and its treatment of foreign students.
A federal judge previously blocked the administration from cutting billions of dollars in research funding from Harvard as related litigation continues.

Nicaragua's Ortega says country will 'never again' hold elections, shutting out opposition
Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega said the Central American country would no longer hold elections, further closing off any potential path for the opposition to challenge the government he leads with his wife, Rosario Murillo.
Ortega, Nicaragua’s longest-serving leader, has remained in power since 2007 after previously governing during the 1980s. His current presidential term is scheduled to run through 2027.
"There won't be any more elections here for them to try to seize the government and seize power," Ortega said.
He delivered the remarks Sunday during a speech commemorating the 1979 Sandinista revolution, in which Ortega participated in the overthrow of the US-backed dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza.
TRUMP ADMIN BACKS BOLIVIA STATE OF EMERGENCY AS LEFTIST EX-LEADER'S LOYALISTS FRACTURE NATION
The declaration appeared to eliminate the possibility of a future electoral challenge as Ortega and Murillo continue consolidating control over the country’s political institutions.
"The days when parties backed by the Yankees (United States) and the Somocistas would return to power are over — never again," Ortega declared.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the U.S. State Department for comment.
The Trump administration has described the Ortega-Murillo government as a dictatorship and imposed sanctions on members of the government and their allies. The State Department has also enacted visa restrictions targeting more than 2,350 Nicaraguan officials and their family members.
"The United States stands with the Nicaraguan people who, like Rivera, aspire to see a free Nicaragua," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in June.
TRUMP EXPANDS CUBA SANCTIONS BEYOND US COMPANIES IN MAJOR CRACKDOWN ON FOREIGN ENABLERS
The Biden administration previously said Ortega illegitimately awarded himself another term following Nicaragua’s disputed 2021 presidential election.
Authorities arrested presidential candidates, opposition figures, business leaders and journalists ahead of that vote as the government intensified its criminalization of dissent.
Ortega and Murillo further expanded their authority through sweeping constitutional changes that took effect in 2025. The reforms extended the presidential term from five years to six and elevated Murillo from vice president to "co-president."
The changes also placed Nicaragua’s legislative, judicial and electoral institutions under the authority of the presidency, according to United Nations experts.
Ortega and Murillo now exercise control over nearly every branch of the government, including the armed forces, police and judiciary.
Ortega had already effectively eliminated meaningful electoral competition during elections in 2011, 2016 and 2021, Salvador Marenco, coordinator of the Costa Rica-based Nicaragua Nunca Más Human Rights Collective, told Reuters.
Many prominent opposition leaders have been imprisoned, forced into exile or stripped of their Nicaraguan citizenship, while opposition parties and independent civic organizations have lost their legal status.
A United Nations group of experts has accused the Ortega-Murillo government of systematically violating human rights as part of a campaign to eliminate criticism and preserve its hold on power. The experts said some alleged violations may amount to crimes against humanity.
The government launched a violent crackdown on anti-government protests in 2018. More than 300 people were killed during the unrest, according to international human rights groups.

Darline Graham focuses on kitchen-table issues as she announces full-term Senate bid
Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., the sister of late Sen. Lindsey Graham, outlined her political priorities in an exclusive interview with "Hannity" on Monday as she announced she would run for a full Senate term in November.
"He's worked so hard for so long. I can’t just let that die. I've got to step in and carry on his legacy," she said during her first interview since Lindsey’s death.
"I know he cared about the people of South Carolina so deeply. He worked so hard for them. And I feel like I can do that, too. He taught me well," she added.
SEN DARLINE GRAHAM REVEALS WHETHER SHE WILL RUN FOR A FULL-TERM DURING ‘HANNITY’ EXCLUSIVE
After being appointed by South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster last week to serve out the rest of her late brother’s Senate term until January 2027, Graham announced Monday that she will run for a full, six-year term.
Graham, South Carolina’s first female U.S. Senator, told Fox News she feels an "inner peace" about succeeding her brother in representing The Palmetto State.
"It is a tremendous amount of pressure," she said.
"I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it."
Graham said that unlike Lindsey, who was passionate about ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict, she plans to focus primarily on domestic issues rather than foreign policy and place greater emphasis on day-to-day concerns of South Carolinians.
NANCY MACE REVEALS SENATE DECISION AS LINDSEY GRAHAM'S SISTER REDRAWS THE RACE
"I used to see him on the talk shows. I would watch him and I'd be like, ‘Lindsey, are you just talking about national security all the time?'," she explained. "And I understand that's important. Protecting our borders, national security, absolutely."
"I said, ‘But talk about also what matters to the average person. The price of groceries, the price of gas, health care. Insurance, those kind of things.’ That's what I'm worried about."
Lindsey Graham died suddenly on July 11 at age 71. His cause of death was later identified as an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
"It's been tough, extremely tough," Darline Graham told host Sean Hannity.
MAJORITY LEADER THUNE: LINDSEY GRAHAM WAS THE GOP’S GLUE, BINDING US TOGETHER WITH COURAGE AND GRACE
"He was everything, he was my rock. He was my brother, my mother, and my father," she added.
Since 2019, Graham has served as a commissioner for South Carolina’s Commission for the Blind, overseeing a $90 million budget. The organization helps people who are blind or visually impaired people find employment.
"It was a passion of mine, but I have a servant's heart," she said. "You have to have a servant's heart for a job like that."
Bodycam catches Sunny Hostin invoking her legal chops as cops cite Harvard-grad son for trespassing
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin repeatedly reminded police she was a "former federal prosecutor" after officers stopped her Harvard-educated son for trespassing on Metro-North railroad property, as newly released body camera video captured the TV host urging officers to cut him a break.
"My name is Sunny Hostin and I'm one of the co-hosts of 'The View' and I'm a former federal prosecutor," Hostin tells an officer over the phone in bodycam video obtained by Fox News Digital.
After arriving at the scene, Hostin continued making her case.
"That's my son. He's a Harvard graduate. He doesn't have a criminal record," she says. "He's not a kid who's ever in trouble. It's an innocent mistake."
According to records obtained by Fox News Digital, Gabriel Hostin was stopped by Metropolitan Transportation Authority police shortly before 8 p.m. June 16 after officers observed him on the Metro-North railroad right-of-way at the New Rochelle station.
Police alleged he was trespassing in an area marked with "NO TRESPASSING" signs.
An MTA Police spokesperson told Fox News Digital the 23-year-old was observed running near an electrified third rail before officers stopped him near Commerce Drive, conducted a criminal background check and escorted him from the area.
Because Hostin had no criminal history and cooperated with officers, police said he was issued a summons for trespass and released.
The bodycam video shows Gabriel Hostin asking officers whether issuing the summons was necessary.
"Because it is an arrestable offense. I want to make that clear," one officer tells him.
"We're dimming it down to a trespass violation because you were in the right-of-way."
The officer goes on to explain that police were taking his lack of criminal history into account.
"We know you're not a criminal or anything like that, but our hands are tied with cameras everywhere," the officer says.
Hostin again urged officers to exercise discretion.
"He's a Harvard grad who teaches fourth-grade geometry to South Bronx kids," she says. "He's not a kid who's ever in trouble. It's an innocent mistake."
According to charging documents obtained by Fox News Digital, an officer alleged he observed Gabriel Hostin on the active railroad right-of-way at the New Rochelle station "in violation of the posted NO TRESPASSING signs."
The citation narrative similarly states officers observed him on the railroad right-of-way before conducting a warrant check that came back negative and issuing him an appearance ticket for trespass.
The records also include photographs of warning signs reading, "NO TRESPASSING – PRIVATE PROPERTY – VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED," posted near the entrance to the property, along with photos of the gated access point.
According to court records, Gabriel Hostin is scheduled to appear in New Rochelle City Court on July 31.
BC: 6401685300112
In a letter obtained by TMZ, Hostin argued her son mistakenly entered the property while jogging after spotting what appeared to be a gravel incline suitable for hill training.
She said the entrance gate was open and that the only "No Trespassing" sign was attached to the left gate and was not visible when he entered.
The bodycam video also sparked reaction online, with several conservative accounts criticizing Hostin for invoking her legal background during the encounter.
Libs of TikTok contrasted Hostin's past remarks that "no one is above the law" with her comments to officers that she was "a former federal prosecutor" and that her son was a Harvard graduate with no criminal record.
End Wokeness posted a similar critique, arguing the footage conflicted with Hostin's previous public comments about equal treatment under the law.
Fox News Digital reached out to Hostin's representatives for comment.
New York far-left group claims reparations 'owed' as Blacks' median wealth 'nearly 15 times less' than Whites
A prominent civil rights organization is pushing for statewide reparations, arguing that a historical debt is owed to Black New Yorkers due to deep wealth disparities rooted in the state's ties to slavery and decades of systemic discrimination.
"Reparations are a debt that is owed. Enslaved Black people built the foundation of New York’s economy, but Black families in our state still face racism that has been codified into our laws and budgets," said Lanessa Owens-Chaplin, Director of the Racial Justice Center at the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU). "New York State was not a bystander to slavery — it created, enacted, and protected the institution. Reparations must be extended to all Black New Yorkers descended from those enslaved by New York State, and to all Black New Yorkers still living under the systems slavery built."
In a joint report released last week titled "The Other New York: The Legacy of Slavery and the Case for Reparations Now," the NYCLU and the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) detailed the lasting economic impacts of slavery and Jim Crow–era policies on Black communities across the state.
According to the report, the median wealth of Black New Yorkers stands at $18,870 — nearly 15 times less than the median wealth of White New Yorkers, which sits at $276,900. The groups noted that New York state exhibits a wider racial wealth gap than the national average.
The report points to government-backed practices like redlining as major catalysts for today's wealth inequality, noting that the exclusion and displacement of Black communities denied them "the stability and generational wealth that homeownership provides."
"Nearly 90 years after redlining and urban renewal, formerly redlined communities remain some of the highest-poverty neighborhoods in New York," the report states. "Zoning laws reinforced the racial hierarchy established under slavery, forcing Black people to live in industrial areas with increased pollution — leading to disproportionately high asthma, cardiovascular disease, premature delivery, and premature death. Schools serving predominantly Black students have been severely underfunded and disproportionately affected by environmental hazards, crumbling infrastructure, and lead poisoning."
The groups argue that reparations must go beyond symbolic gestures, advocating for both direct compensation for financial losses and broad institutional policy changes.
"Supporting reparations is about more than compensation; it is about acknowledging harm, restoring dignity, and creating pathways for communities to thrive," the authors wrote. The report outlines proposed remedies to "compensate for the harm by addressing tangible losses, such as loss of wealth, wages, and other damages caused by wrongdoing," while also targeting broader structural changes in criminal justice, environmental policy, and public school funding.
"In order to build a thriving economy and a resilient multi-racial democracy, New York must repair past harm and break down barriers to opportunity for Black communities. Reparations benefit all New Yorkers," the report urged.
The NYCLU did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
KEY TRUMP AGENCY PUTS TOP UNIVERSITIES IN CROSSHAIRS OVER ALLEGED RACE-BASED DORM PROGRAMS
These localized efforts come as state and municipal racial redress initiatives face growing legal and political scrutiny nationwide. In Evanston, Illinois — the first U.S. municipality to distribute cash and housing grants as reparations — the program is facing a high-profile federal lawsuit. The U.S. Department of Justice intervened in the suit, arguing that race-based benefit distributions violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Meanwhile, in New York, progress on state-level recommendations has stalled.
The New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies was created under legislation signed by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul in late 2023. The panel was tasked with examining the state's historical ties to slavery, subsequent Jim Crow practices, and modern economic disparities to formulate recommendations for policy changes and financial remedies.
However, the NYCLU slammed state officials after a provision quietly embedded in the state budget pushed the commission’s final report deadline back two years — from its original 2025 date to 2029.
Trump says first call with new UK PM Burnham went 'very well,' pledges US support
President Donald Trump said Monday that he spoke with Britain's new prime minister, Andy Burnham, shortly after he took office, calling the conversation "very good."
Trump added that he and Burnham plan to meet in the "not too distant future" to discuss issues of mutual interest.
During the call, the leaders touched on the longstanding U.S.-U.K. relationship and the challenges facing Burnham as he begins his time in office, with Trump pledging American support.
"We discussed many subjects, including the outstanding relationship we have had with the UK," Trump said.
ANDY BURNHAM TAKES OVER AS UK PRIME MINISTER, CALLS FOR 'NEW POLITICAL MODEL'
"The Prime Minister has got a big job ahead of him, but he will be able to do it and, of course, the U.S.A. will be there to help!"
The pair also discussed North Sea oil, trade, the U.S.-U.K. military alliance and efforts to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said.
Burnham's office released a statement following the call, saying the prime minister looked forward to welcoming Trump to Manchester during a future visit.
According to Downing Street, Trump updated Burnham on the situation in the Middle East, while Burnham reaffirmed the United Kingdom's commitment to reopening the Strait of Hormuz safely.
"The Prime Minister outlined the UK’s commitment to securing the movement of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to support global supply chains and drive down costs for businesses and families across the country," the British office said.
Burnham further emphasized that defense and security would remain the U.K.'s top priority alongside its allies.
KEIR STARMER REPORTEDLY CONSIDERING STEPPING DOWN AS PM AND COULD ANNOUNCE TIMETABLE FOR DEPARTURE
On the domestic front, Burnham emphasized that he will pursue reindustrialization efforts to drive economic growth across the country.
Trump ultimately described the conversation as a major success.
"The call was interesting, and went very well. I wished Prime Minister Burnham, GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED!" Trump said.
Burnham became Britain's seventh prime minister in a decade on Monday, vowing to reshape a country that has cycled through a series of leaders in recent years. He succeeds Keir Starmer, who served as prime minister for just over two years after taking office in the summer of 2024.
The two leaders have previously traded criticism. Before Burnham took office, Trump labeled him "extremely liberal," while Burnham has been openly critical of the American president.
Sinaloa Cartel boss 'El Mayo' sentenced to life, ordered to pay $15B in drug trafficking profits
Sinaloa Cartel co-founder Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada Garcia, of Mexico, was sentenced on Monday to life in a U.S. prison and ordered to forfeit $15 billion in drug trafficking profits, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan said that while he had no choice but to give a life sentence since the charges carried a mandatory term of life imprisonment, he believed it was the right punishment.
"The almost unimaginable amount of drugs attributable to him and the number of murders that we can document is enough to justify Congress's decision to make this a mandatory life sentence," the judge said.
He is one of the most high-profile Mexican drug traffickers to be sentenced by a U.S. judge since fellow Sinaloa leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was sentenced to life in prison in 2019.
ICE RENEWS HUNT FOR EL CHAPO'S ;AST TWO FUGITIVE SONS WITH MASSIVE REWARD
Garcia, 76, agreed to plead guilty in August 2025 to multiple charges, including racketeering conspiracy and continuing criminal enterprise, after the DOJ said it would not pursue the death penalty.
He was arrested in July 2024 alongside Joaquin Guzman Lopez, one of Guzman's sons, after their plane landed in the U.S. Guzman Lopez has since pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including drug trafficking and a July 2024 kidnapping.
Joseph Nocella, a federal prosecutor, told reporters after Garcia's sentencing that Guzman Lopez had admitted to kidnapping Garcia in an attempt to secure leniency and credit from U.S. law enforcement.
"The United States made perfectly clear that we do not condone kidnapping and that he would receive no credit," Nocella said.
Guzman Lopez has not yet been sentenced.
Garcia told the court during his sentencing on Monday that he took responsibility for the harm he had caused.
"No one wins in a war like this. To the next generation, I say, choose a different path," he said.
US CHARGES MEXICAN GOVERNOR, TOP OFFICIALS IN CARTEL CONSPIRACY AS MEXICO FIRES BACK OVER PROOF
Cogan suggested that Garcia be placed in a facility where he would receive adequate medical care since he was suffering from several progressive health ailments.
"Ismael Zambada Garcia spent nearly four decades poisoning American communities to make billions of dollars in profit and ordering the murders of anyone who stood in his way. Today, that chapter closes for good," Nocella said in a statement.
"He will spend the rest of his life in a U.S. prison, exactly where he belongs," he added. This sentence was made possible by the tireless bilateral cooperation between U.S. and Mexican law enforcement, who refused to let El Mayo's years of evading justice become a permanent state of affairs. We hope that today's sentence brings some measure of justice to the countless victims of the Sinaloa Cartel's narcotics trafficking and violence."

Michigan Dem hopeful Abdul El-Sayed jabs CNN giving him 'non-consensual colonoscopy' in recent interviews
Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed took a swipe at CNN over what he suggests are uncomfortable appearances he has had on the network.
"I go on CNN every once in a while and I get a non-consensual colonoscopy," El-Sayed quipped at a rally in Grand Rapids on Sunday, sparking laughs from the crowd.
"And then, all they ask me about is another country, and they're like, 'All he's ever talking about is another country.' No! I just want everybody to understand that there's an opportunity cost to the money being sent over there, and that is what we could have over here," he continued.
CNN did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Earlier in the day, El-Sayed appeared on CNN's "State of the Union," where he was grilled by anchor Jake Tapper about previously-leaked audio of him saying he didn't want to comment on the killing of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February in order not to offend any of his constituents.
"Why were you worried about people who supported the ayatollah?" Tapper asked.
El-Sayed largely sidestepped the question, insisting he didn't want to comment because of the "ridiculous pretext," instead putting focus on the three U.S. servicemembers who were killed by Iranian strikes in Jordan over the weekend.
"Look, let's have a conversation based in Michigan. I'm running for Senate in Michigan. And I think here in Michigan, all of us are probably sad about the fact that we went to a war that we never should have fought. I'd rather our money be spent here," El-Sayed told Tapper.
"I was specifically asking you about comments you didn't want to make because you didn't want to offend people in Dearborn, which is in Michigan," Tapper replied before moving on to another topic.
SOCIALIST-BACKED DEM WHO RIPPED THE WEALTHY CRACKS STATE'S TOP 1%, TAX RETURNS SHOW
In another contentious exchange earlier this month, El-Sayed clashed with CNN anchor Kasie Hunt about his deleted social media posts expressing support for defunding the police, accusing the network of seeking "clickbait" instead of focusing on the issues voters care about.
El-Sayed, who has earned the endorsement of far-left progressives like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is currently running in a combative Democratic primary against Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens. Both Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez joined him at Sunday's campaign rally.
Controversial streamer Clavicular explains viral 'looksmaxxing' trend as Gen Z adopts extreme regimen
Controversial internet personality Braden Peters, known online as Clavicular, explained the goals behind his "looksmaxxing" movement, as the dangerous health regimen gains popularity among young men.
"Looksmaxxing is the most well-rounded form of self-improvement, just almost taking it to its logical conclusion," Clavicular said in a new episode of "Hang Out with Sean Hannity."
The looksmaxxing movement championed by the 20-year-old livestreamer has surged in popularity among Generation Z and Generation Alpha.
The strict health regimen is meant to maximize your appearance and includes practices such as taking stimulants and bone smashing , which Clavicular describes as striking your facial bones with a hammer in an effort to stimulate bone growth.
INFLUENCER CONNOR MURPHY'S RENTAL DISCOVERED IN SHOCKING CONDITION AFTER HIS SUDDEN DROWNING
Medical experts have warned against the practice because of the risk of serious injury.
"[Looksmaxxing is] gonna include just traditional bodybuilding and fitness style stuff, as well as a new focus on sort of facial esthetics," he said.
TRANS ACTOR ELLIOT PAGE ARGUES 'HEALTHY MASCULINITY' IS REJECTING EXPECTATION TO 'SHUT DOWN'
"And that's been missing from a lot of like the male red pill stuff and male self- improvement was emphasis on the face, and you know, a lot more of the emphasis was on just the physique and training and all that kind of stuff."
Clavicular is best known for his hours-long livestreams on Kick, where he is filmed in a candid setting socializing at nightclubs. Clips from those outings, in which he uses pickup lines to attract women, frequently go viral online and amass millions of views.
"Going to the clubs, it shows the very nature of hypergamy and kind of the reasoning behind the whole philosophy of looksmaxxing, why it's important," Clavicular said.
FLORIDA MAN WHO ALLEGEDLY LURED WOMEN WITH DATING APP COULD HAVE MORE VICTIMS: AUTHORITIES
"Only about 2% of the people in nightlife that you see are gonna have success with women, are gonna be able to take a girl home and have a one night stand with her, right? 2%. So most people in the clubs stand literally no chance."
The streamer’s interactions with young women have stirred up controversy about his insolent treatment of women. He was arrested in March on a battery charge which involved him allegedly instigating a fight between two woman and posting the video to social media.
Many members of Generation Z and Generation Alpha have adopted Clavicular’s controversial looksmaxxing techniques in hopes of improving their appearance, but critics have expressed concern about the streamer’s growing influence on younger audiences.
Fox News host Sean Hannity questioned him about what his intentions are in posting videos promoting looksmaxxing.
"The more content that I do, it kind of displays that and puts an emphasis on, like, you really need to prioritize looking better and starting to look max," he said.
The influencer explained that looksmaxxing is not solely intended to get girls and argued attractive physical appearances improve "every single micro interaction in your life."
"If they're not good-looking they're not going to get the job," he said, arguing that one must be physically attractive to obtain work.
The latest episode of "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" featuring Clavicular will be available on Tuesday on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple.
Dodgers' Kiké Hernández blasts fan's angry letter over White House skip, exposes address to followers
Dodgers fan favorite Kiké Hernández has built a reputation for clutch October moments and an easygoing personality.
But after choosing to skip the team’s upcoming July 23 White House visit celebrating their 2026 World Series title, the utility veteran found himself at the center of a heated political debate.
SISTERS OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE WERE 'TOO BUSY' FOR DODGERS' PRIDE FESTIVITIES
Officially, the 34-year-old is missing the trip to begin a minor-league injury rehabilitation assignment for a strained left oblique.
"It's going to be hard to be in two cities at the same time," Hernández admitted recently. Though he quickly added a more candid takeaway: "If I was active, I probably wouldn't have gone anyways."
LOS ANGELES DODGERS HOST FAITH NIGHT AFTER SISTERS OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE DISASTER
That admission didn't sit well with one disgruntled fan named Larry, who sent a typed letter to the ballpark taking direct aim at the Puerto Rican-born star:
"Mr. Hernandez, after hearing about the horrible experience during your last visit to the White House and your excuse for your absence this year, it seems clear that you are just a disrespectful, spoiled, pampered, entitled little brat. Remember, you work for an organization that promotes a group (The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence) that disparages and denigrates the entire Catholic religion."
Rather than tossing the hate mail in the trash, Hernández posted a photo of the letter, along with Larry’s unredacted return address, to his 1.5 million social media followers.
"SO to Larry for the nice letter!" Hernández captioned the post. "Next time, at least make it handwritten, you nice sir!"
Hernández isn't the only Dodger opting out of the Washington trip.
While Hernández did attend the team's White House visit in April 2025 following their 2024 championship, he later indicated he regretted the experience.
DODGERS SPARK PROTESTS AFTER ALLEGED ICE AGENT BLOCK AT DODGER STADIUM; ICE CALLS CLAIMS FALSE
Superstar teammate Mookie Betts is also expected to skip the July 23 event.
Betts previously made headlines when he opted not to visit the White House with the Boston Red Sox in 2019, during Donald Trump's first term.
Hernández has long been vocal in his opposition to President Trump’s immigration stance.
Tensions surrounding the Dodgers hit a boiling point in 2025 following rumors that immigration officials were present at Dodger Stadium.
While rumors initially claimed ICE was targeting fans, OutKick confirmed at the time that the personnel was actually California Border Control agents conducting routine operations unrelated to local sweeps.
Championship White House visits were once a universally accepted, non-partisan victory lap for championship teams. Today, they are an ideological battleground.
Whether you agree with Larry or the player, doxxing a fan over a typed critique crosses a line.
