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.
“Worst of the worst”. Clearly /s
But yeah, while I want to say something about lax security, this is typically just students who are supposed to watch the door. It’s not reasonable to expect to resist being steamrolled by armed masked thugs
So now they’re weaponizing missing persons. Now no one is going to help the next time someone is in trouble
