Progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar‘s daughter was suspended from her college after protesting in an anti-Israel demonstration on the Columbia University campus, according to posts from her social media.
Isra Hirsi, Omar’s daughter, posted that she was one of three students ‘suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.’
Her suspension comes as Columbia University has been rocked by pro-Palestinian protests over the last two days, leading to several arrests and brawls.
‘[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,’ the Democrat‘s daughter posted on X.
‘I just received notice that i am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.’
