A student at Columbia University was detained Thursday morning by federal immigration officers.
Columbia University President Claire Shipman said that “federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a ‘missing person.’” The school’s campus has been closed to outsiders since 2024.
The president did not name the student, but it has been confirmed to be Ellie Aghayeva, an undergraduate neuroscience student who was expected to graduate this year. She was taken from her dorm room at the school’s New York City campus at 6:30 am.
Assuming dorm counts as residence for 4th amendment purposes like an apartment? If there’s no judicial warrant for it they had no justification for entering.
Who is going to stop them? ICE is determined to prove they are above all laws.
They have been doing this at people’s homes for months now are you kidding
The Constitution has either specifically allowed ICE as they claim or it has been powerless to stop it. Either way it is unfit to exist.
