<p>Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said Friday that she was &#8220;enormously proud&#8221; of her daughter, Isra Hirsi, who was arrested Thursday while participating in an anti-Israel protest at Columbia University.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am enormously proud of my daughter @israhirsi,&#8221; Omar <a href="https://twitter.com/ilhanmn/status/1781453928887914927?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X.<span class="css-1qaijid r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0 r-poiln3"> &#8220;She has always led with courage and compassion, from organizing a statewide school walk out on the 20th anniversary of Columbine at the age of 15, to leading the biggest youth climate rally at our nation’s Capitol at 16, and now pushing her school to stand against genocide. Stepping up to change what you can’t tolerate is why we as a country have the right to speech, assembly, and petition enshrined in our constitution.&#8221;<br />

<p>According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/18/us-news/nypd-cops-enter-columbia-after-university-warns-anti-israel-protesters-to-clear-out/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>, over 100 students were arrested at the campus encampment on Thursday. Hirsi was released from jail a few hours after her arrest, and she will face trespassing charges, sources <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/arrest-ilhan-omars-daughter-anti-israel-protest-political-fellow-squad-member" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News.</p>
<p>Earlier on Thursday, Hirsi also announced that she was suspended from Columbia’s partner school, Barnard College for participating in the protest.</p>
<p>“I’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest<a href="https://twitter.com/ColumbiaSJP"> @ColumbiaSJP</a>, in my 3 years at<a href="https://twitter.com/BarnardCollege"> @BarnardCollege</a> i have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings,” Hirsi <a href="https://twitter.com/israhirsi/status/1780980484203327780">tweeted</a>. “I just received notice that i am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.”</p>
<p>Other members of the Democratic &#8220;Squad&#8221; rallied to Hirsi&#8217;s defense after her suspension from Barnard and her arrest.</p>
<p>“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-NY) <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1781135013246808148" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. “What merits asymmetric crackdowns on Palestinian human rights protests?”</p>

<p>Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) claimed that Hirsi&#8217;s arrested was a political reprisal against Omar for questioning Columbia&#8217;s commitment to free speech.</p>
