Ranjani Srinivasan, a 37-year-old Indian doctoral student at Columbia University, left the US after her visa was revoked. The US Department of State canceled her visa on March 5, citing security concerns over alleged links to Hamas. Srinivasan denied the claims, calling the crackdown on protests a threat to free speech. Fearing arrest, she fled to Canada, leaving her belongings and cat behind. The US Department of Homeland Security confirmed her self-deportation. Her case has sparked debate over national security and immigration policies, as visa revocations for alleged security risks have increased in recent months.
