Isra Hirsi, the daughter of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was arrested on Thursday at anti-Israel protests held at Columbia University, as confirmed by law enforcement sources. Hirsi was taken into custody by the New York Police Department and was placed in flex cuffs or zip ties, facing charges of trespassing along with over 100 other individuals who were issued summonses for the same offense.
Following her arrest, Hirsi was later released from NYPD headquarters after spending several hours in custody. Earlier in the day, she revealed that she had been suspended from Barnard College, located near Columbia, for her participation in the protests in solidarity with Palestinians.
