Columbia University not cooperating with DHS to identify individuals involved in ‘pro-Hamas activity’, says White House press secretary

Columbia University is facing controversy after U.S. immigration agents arrested Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil for pro-Palestinian activism. The Trump administration is cracking down on anti-Israel protests, revoking visas, and withdrawing $400 million in federal funding from Columbia. Civil rights groups condemned the move, while student protests continue, demanding Khalil’s release and stronger protections for political speech.
