ICE Arrests Second Columbia Student over Palestinian Solidarity Protests

HeadlineMar 17, 2025

U.S. immigration agents have arrested another Palestinian student who participated in Gaza solidarity protests at Columbia University. Leqaa Kordia, who is from the occupied West Bank, had been on a lapsed student visa. Separately, an Indian national left the U.S. after her enrollment and student visa were unlawfully revoked. Ranjani Srinivasan was expected to graduate this year with a doctoral degree from Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. Her lawyer said she was arrested the night students took over what’s now known as Hind’s Hall, though she did not actually participate in that protest.
