The daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar confirmed Thursday that she was among several students suspended from Columbia University for participating in pro-Palestinian protests.
Dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University were arrested Thursday afternoon and an on-campus tent encampment was removed after the school's president gave the New York Police Department the green light to clear the protesters.
Hirsi, who described herself as an organizer for the Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a coalition of campus student organizations, said in a post on X that in her three years at Barnard College, one of four Columbia undergraduate colleges, "I have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings."
The demonstrations at Columbia also included pro-Israel supporters, who waved Israeli flags and held signs reading, "#End Jew Hatred." At least five people were arrested Wednesday night at the college for disorderly conduct, according to the NYPD.
