Ranjani Srinivasan, an Indian scholar, has self-deported after her visa was revoked by the Trump administration. This action followed her participation in pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. The Department of Homeland Security released a video showing Srinivasan at LaGuardia Airport with her bags. Her visa was suspended last week amid a broader campaign against foreigners involved in similar demonstrations. Authorities recently raided Columbia University residences as part of an investigation into claims of concealed illegal immigrants. No arrests were made during the raids, which were linked to Srinivasan and another individual associated with the protests.
