Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter says she was one of three students suspended from Barnard College following a pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University on Thursday.
Isra Hirsi wrote on X that she is an organizer with Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which is advocating for the university to divest from “companies complicit in genocide.”
“I just received notice that I am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide,” she wrote on Thursday morning.
Hirsi, a junior, said she had never previously been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings from Barnard during her time at the school.
Members of the ultra-progressive congressional group “The Squad” on Thursday protested the suspension of the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
What is going on here @BarnardCollege @Columbia? How does a student with no disciplinary record suddenly get to a suspension less than 24 hours after a nonviolent protest?” Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., posted on X. “What merits asymmetric crackdowns on Palestinian human rights protests?”
The encampment took place at Columbia’s South Lawn on Wednesday, when more than 100 protesters occupied the area to demand university President Minouche Shafik reveal the school’s investments and pardon demonstrators who were previously punished.
“Even if she weren’t the daughter of my sister-in-service, @IlhanMN, no student should be silenced, censored, and politicized for calling for justice,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., wrote. “Do better, @Columbia.”
She reportedly went on an anti-America tirade and this morning she seems to feelt the consequences from her behavior!
Isra and the “Squad” were shocked this morning!
Isra Hirsi, has revealed that she has nowhere to live and nothing to eat after she was suspended for taking part in a disruptive anti-Israel protest.
Now, after being temporarily booted from the prestigious, $90K-per-year Barnard College, Hirsi said that she’s been evicted from campus housing and banned from using the dining hall.
“I was a little bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go? And also all of my s–t is thrown in a random lot. It’s pretty horrible,” “I don’t know when I can go home, and I don’t know if I ever will be able to.” she told Teen Vogue.
Hirsi said that when she sought help from administration staff at Barnard, she heard crickets.
“I sent them an email like, ‘Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my dining plan,’ and they were like, Oh, you can come pick up a prepackaged bag of food, a full 48 hours after I was suspended,” she said. “There was no food support, no nothing.”
Hirsi was hauled away in cuffs by the NYPD Thursday afternoon after the protesters erected a tent city on campus.
