Department of Homeland Security agents searched two dorm rooms at Columbia University. This followed the arrest of a pro-Palestinian activist and recent graduate facing deportation. Columbia's interim president, Katrina Armstrong, confirmed the search was conducted with federal warrants. She noted that no one was detained and nothing was taken. The search comes as the Trump administration demands changes to Columbia's student discipline and admissions processes before discussing the reinstatement of $400 million in canceled government grants.
