Srinivasan self-deported after visa revocation for terrorism ties

Ranjani Srinivasan, a doctoral student at Columbia University, self-deported from the U.S. on March 11, 2025, after her visa was revoked. The revocation followed allegations of her supporting Hamas. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the visa revocation, citing a firm stance against terrorism. Srinivasan's academic background and participation in pro-Palestinian protests drew scrutiny amid increased government pressure on foreign students involved in similar activities.
