Ellie Aghayeva, an international student of Columbia University, was arrested by the ICE officers from the university campus Thursday morning. Department of Homeland Security officers entered the residential building of the university campus at 6.30am, the university authorities said adding that the officer lied to gain entry to the dorm. They said they were looking for a "missing person" but ended arresting a university student.
“We are working to gather more information, working to reach the family, and providing legal support. Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a ‘missing person,” acting president Claire Shipman said in a statement. “We are working to gather more details.”
