US federal agents raid Columbia University dorms second time in a week
14 March 2025 09:44 GMT
Federal agents from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) conducted late-night searches of two Columbia University dormitories on Thursday evening, according to Haaretz.
No arrests were made, and nothing was seized, according to an email from interim president of the university, Katrina Armstrong.
The searches were authorised by a federal magistrate judge, allowing DHS agents to access private residencies on campus.
This incident follows the recent arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian Columbia University graduate, who was detained for organising a pro-Palestine protest on campus.
