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.
I will put it this way. If I found out this woman had been a nazi, and a pedophile, and a canabal, and a warewolf, and a vampire, and secretly donald trump in drag, I would STILL insist on being given the same rights to due process and a fair trial as everyone else.
Here, it’s just grabbing her from her dorm, and she gets no say, no process.
The process needs to work if we’re to trust it.
I was joking, yes everyone should get due process. But damn, why did she have to work for the very thing caused this?
so you support meta? All for that huh?
