The daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Isra Hirsi, appears to have been arrested at Columbia University after she was suspended from Barnard College for refusing to leave the anti-Israel encampment, according to photos posted to X.
Photos posted to X show Hirsi being arrested by several NYPD officers. The same user, who claims to be affiliated with Barnard, posted pictures of several protesters being removed by the New York Police Department, as well as the tents they erected being removed.
