DHS agents search two Columbia University residences – days after anti-Israel agitator Mahmoud Khalil arrested by ICE at off-campus apartment
[NY Post] Department of Homeland Security agents executed search warrants on two Columbia University residences on Thursday night — just days after anti-Israel agitator Mahomoud Khlil
…generally spelt Mahmoud Khalil… | was arrested by ICE at an off-campus apartment, the Ivy League school announced.
Interim President Katrina Armstrong revealed the raids in a letter to the Columbia community and noted that nobody was arrested or detained when the feds searched the rooms of two students.
"Federal agents from the DHS served Columbia University with two judicial search warrants signed by a federal magistrate judge authorizing DHS to enter non-public areas of the University and conduct searches of two student rooms," Armstrong said.
"The University has a clear protocol in place. Consistent with this protocol, our longstanding practice, and the practices of cities and institutions throughout the country, the University requires that law enforcement have a judicial warrant to enter non-public University areas, including residential University buildings."
The "heartbroken" leader said she was "obligated" to comply with the law, adding that no items were removed and no additional action was taken by the feds.
