Ranjani Srinivasan, an Indian international student at Columbia University, fled the United States after her student visa was revoked by the US Department of State on March 5. The revocation stemmed from her alleged involvement in pro-Palestinian activities linked to Hamas. Srinivasan expressed fear that even minor political expressions could result in severe consequences, likening her experience to a "dystopian nightmare." Her legal issues began with an arrest during a police crackdown at a pro-Palestinian protest last year. She self-deported from LaGuardia Airport on March 11, using the CBP Home App.
