DHS arrests Columbia student for visa overstay

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has arrested Leqaa Korda, a Columbia University student, for allegedly overstaying her visa. This follows the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder, for his involvement in campus protests. Korda's arrest is part of a broader crackdown on individuals linked to pro-Palestinian demonstrations. DHS also searched two student residences at Columbia but did not make any arrests during those searches. Columbia University has expelled or suspended students involved in last spring's protests. Khalil is set to appear before an immigration judge on March 27, while protests continue in support of his release.
