U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., praised her daughter Friday, a day after the Ivy
League college student was arrested in New York City while participating in an
anti-Israel protest. 

"I am enormously proud of my daughter @israhirsi," Omar wrote on X. 

"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." 

Isra Hirsi was among more than 100 people arrested and issued a summons for
trespassing Thursday after protests at Columbia University. Hours earlier, she
said she had been suspended from Barnard College for "standing in solidarity
with Palestinians facing a genocide."

"Those of us in Gaza Solidarity Encampment will not be intimidated," Hirsi wrote
on X. "We will stand resolute until our demands are met. our [sic] demands
include divestment from companies complicit in genocide, transparency of
@Columbia’s investments and FULL amnesty for all students facing repression."

Dozens of anti-Israel activists began protesting at Columbia University
Wednesday morning, creating an encampment on the main lawn in protest of
Israel's war against Hamas.

In a message to students, Columbia President Minouche Shafik said these
"extraordinary steps" were necessary "because these are extraordinary
circumstances," adding that protesters "violated a long list of rules and
policies."

Omar questioned Shafik this week during a hearing in Washington about
antisemitism on college campuses.
