International students at Columbia University fear repercussions

International students and faculty at Columbia University are increasingly silent following a crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests. Federal agents have arrested two foreigners, including a student, and revoked another student's visa, causing fear among the international community. Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism reported a significant decline in participation from foreign students, who now feel unsafe expressing their views. Other universities are advising international students to be cautious about their public statements and online activity. The situation escalated with the arrest of Leqaa Kordia for overstaying her visa and the revocation of Ranjani Srinivasan's visa for alleged advocacy of violence. Officials indicate that more visa revocations may occur in the near future.
