Ranjani Srinivasan shared her story and possible reasons for her visa revocation

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/nyregion/columbia-student-kristi-noem-video.html

Brief summary: DHS said Ranjani failed to disclose two court summons against her when she renewed her student visa last year. Ranjani said the court summons were issued when she was arrested while passing by the Columbia protestors. She had nothing to do with the protest, and the court dismissed the case because of that. She said she didn’t know she had to disclose dismissed cases.

She had also liked and shared social media posts, as well as signed open letters (with her name and affiliation) about the Israel/Palestine situation.

ICE visited her apartment several times. Columbia terminated her enrollment and asked her to meet ICE officers. She eventually left for Canada before ICE coming in with warrants on Thursday.

(Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Seems like immigrants read posts here often. I’m not entirely familiar with immigration pertaining subreddits)
