ICE arrests second Columbia student over protest involvement

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a second Columbia University student, Leqaa Kordia, linked to pro-Palestinian protests. Kordia's visa was canceled in 2022 due to lack of attendance, and they were previously arrested in April. Mahmoud Khalil, another student involved in the protests, is also in ICE custody. This has raised concerns among students and faculty about potential threats to free speech on campus, with the ACLU stating that deportation based on political views is unconstitutional. In a related development, Indian citizen Ranjani Srinivasan returned to the U.S. using the "CBP Home" app after her student visa was revoked. The situation has drawn attention from various political figures and organizations.
