The Trump administration is going after political speech- horrifying details of another ICE raid on a postdoc scholar’s home and his detention. This Indian origin scholar is being targeted for supporting the Palestinian cause and for being married to a politically vocal Palestinian.

Did Columbia University collaborate with ICE on this raid and arrest? Since he was not arrested from a public area-it is quite likely that the university allowed ICE to arrest him. Columbia needs to clarify!
He has a green card but it didn’t matter. I wonder what kind warrant ICE carried- Columbia is keeping quiet on that!
