Indian student self-deports after visa revocation

An Indian PhD student at Columbia University, Ranjani Srinivasan, has self-deported after her visa was revoked by the Trump administration. The Department of Homeland Security stated her visa was canceled due to alleged support for Hamas. Srinivasan used the new CBP Home app to leave the U.S. on March 11. This follows the arrest of another Columbia student, Leqaa Kordia, for overstaying her visa amid ongoing scrutiny of campus activism related to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The Trump administration has intensified its crackdown on universities, including Columbia, which has faced significant federal funding cuts. The administration has demanded changes in Columbia's Middle Eastern studies program by March 20 to avoid further financial repercussions.
