Columbia University’s PhD pupil Ranjani Srinivasan fled to Canada along with her few belongings getting a whiff of ICE brokers coming to arrest her because the tempers had been working excessive following the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil whom the administration is getting ready to deport. Srinivasan determined to self-deport herself after she realized her pupil visa had been revoked.
Silicon Valley tech government and an government board member of the California Democratic Party, Rishi Kumar, who too has an Indian origin like Ranjani prolonged help to the Trump administration’s crackdown on Srinivasan and stated that worldwide college students should do not forget that finding out within the US is a privilege.
“Students are granted the opportunity to study in the U.S. based on specific conditions, rather than having an inherent or automatic entitlement to do so. Any violation will likely lead fo a retraction of the conditional privilege,” Kumar posted.
“Be mindful of your actions & speech. Supporting designated terrorist organizations can lead to visa revocation, as seen with Columbia’s Ranjani Srinivasan who self-deported after her visa was canceled.”
“Ranjani lost an amazing educational opportunity and this will be a huge setback for her. More importantly – a lesson for her and for the rest of the international students who are planning to study in the US.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shared a video of Ranjani Srinivasan deporting herself from US and wrote: ‘I’m glad to see on of the Columbia University terrorist sympathizers use the CBP Home app to self deport.” the CBP Home app is a mobile application developed by the US Customs and Border Protection t which allows individuals illegally staying in the country to express their “intent to deport”. After Srinivasan’s visa was canceled on March 5, for alleged help of Hamas, she used to app on March 11 to course of her departure.
