Leqaa Kordia, a Columbia University student and Palestinian protester, was arrested by Homeland Security for her role in anti-Israel demonstrations while being in the U.S. on a revoked student visa. Initially entering the U.S. on a tourism visa in 2016, Kordia faced visa cancellations due to lack of attendance in her studies. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated the importance of maintaining the integrity of visa privileges and called for strict measures against those advocating violence during protests.
A second Columbia University protester who took part in anti-Israel demonstrations on campus was nabbed by Homeland Security agents Thursday, sources said.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized that it's 'a privilege to be granted a visa to live and study in the United States of America' in a statement shared with The Post Friday.
