How a Columbia Student Fled to Canada After ICE Came Looking for Her

The recent events surrounding Ranjani Srinivasan, a Columbia University student from India, have sparked controversy and raised concerns about the use of federal immigration powers in targeting noncitizens on college campuses.

The saga began when federal immigration agents arrived at Ms. Srinivasan’s apartment seeking her, as her student visa had been revoked without explanation. Fearing the volatile situation, she made a quick decision to leave the country and flew to Canada, leaving her cat behind with a friend.

In a surprising turn of events, the Department of Homeland Security accused Ms. Srinivasan of being a terrorist sympathizer, citing her alleged involvement in activities supporting Hamas. However, her lawyers vehemently denied these allegations, stating that she was targeted for engaging in protected political speech without due process.

The revocation of Ms. Srinivasan’s visa stemmed from her involvement in a protest at Columbia last year, where she was arrested and received summonses that were later dismissed. Despite this, the government claimed she failed to disclose these incidents when renewing her visa, leading to further scrutiny and eventual deportation.

The Trump administration’s actions have been criticized for criminalizing free speech and using immigration enforcement as a tool to suppress dissenting voices. The targeting of students like Ms. Srinivasan at Columbia has raised concerns about the erosion of civil liberties and the chilling effect it may have on academic freedom.

As Ms. Srinivasan navigates her uncertain future in Canada, her case serves as a cautionary tale about the intersection of immigration policy and political activism on college campuses. It underscores the need for transparency, due process, and protection of free speech rights in a democracy.

The ongoing saga surrounding Ms. Srinivasan highlights the complexities and challenges faced by international students in the current political climate, where their academic pursuits and freedom of expression are increasingly under threat. As the debate over immigration enforcement and campus activism continues, it is essential to uphold the values of democracy, justice, and human rights for all individuals, regardless of their nationality or political beliefs.
