U.S. Arrests 2nd Person Tied to Pro-Palestinian Protests at Columbia

U.S. Arrests 2nd Person Tied to Pro-Palestinian Protests at Columbia
SHARE

Columbia University has been at the center of a storm of controversies lately, with federal immigration agents arresting two individuals involved in pro-Palestinian protests on campus. The latest arrest was of Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian student from the West Bank who had overstayed her student visa. This comes on the heels of the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, another prominent figure in the pro-Palestinian movement at Columbia.

The actions by federal agents have sparked outrage among students, with over 200 gathering outside the university gates to protest the handling of the situation. The campus has been tense, with federal agents even entering dorm rooms with warrants, although no arrests were made.

The Trump administration has demanded sweeping changes at Columbia, including defining antisemitism, banning certain types of masks, and putting a department under academic receivership. This move is in response to allegations that the university has not adequately protected Jewish students from harassment.

The government’s actions have raised concerns about free speech and academic freedom at Columbia and across the country. Civil liberties advocates fear that adopting a broad definition of antisemitism could lead to censorship of those critical of Israel.

Columbia has stated that they are reviewing the government’s demands and remain committed to addressing all forms of discrimination on campus. The university has also announced disciplinary actions against students involved in last year’s campus building occupation, including expulsions and suspensions.

One of the expelled students, Grant Miner, a Jewish graduate student, was part of a coalition calling for divestment from companies connected to Israel. The student workers’ union, which he leads, has accused the university of targeting its members.

Overall, the situation at Columbia University remains tense, with students and faculty divided over the government’s demands and the actions taken by the administration. The coming days will likely see further developments in this ongoing controversy.
