Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) raged at universities on Thursday for cracking down on anti-Israel college students who had been protesting “genocide.”
“From UM to Vanderbilt to USC to Columbia, students across our country are being retaliated against for using their constitutional rights to protest genocide. It’s appalling,” Tlaib wrote on X.
Tlaib had been responding to the arrest of Irsa Hirsi, daughter of far-left squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who had been partaking in anti-Israel protests this week.

As Breitbart News reported, New York police arrested greater than 100 anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University this week because the Ivy League college president testified earlier than a House committee on the campus response to antisemitism. Police arrested the protesters on a cost of legal trespass. They had been reportedly detained with no resistance.
The college solely allowed protesters who had Columbia IDs to be on campus after they closed the gates. Columbia University President Nemat (Minouche) Shafik wrote a letter to NYPD officers on Thursday asking for the division to take away people who had been trespassing.

Isra Hirsi was reportedly amongst these arrested on Thursday and he or she might be processed.
“I’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege, I have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings I just received notice that I am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide,” Hirsi mentioned on X.
“Those of us in Gaza Solidarity Encampment will not be intimidated,” she added. “We will stand resolute until our demands are met. our demands include divestment from companies complicit in genocide, transparency of @Columbia’s investments and FULL amnesty for all students facing repression.”

Tlaib has been apt to accuse Israel of committing genocide to the purpose that she used the phrase “from the river to the sea” phrase, which suggests the supposed liberation of Palestinians between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
“From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate,” she wrote final yr. “My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.”
