Ranjani Srinivasan, an Indian doctoral student at Columbia University, fled to Canada after US immigration agents visited her home twice. Her student visa was revoked on March 5 for allegedly advocating terrorism, a claim she denies. The crackdown followed protests over Israel’s actions in Gaza. Fearing detention like fellow student Mahmoud Khalil, she used the CBP Home App to self-deport on March 11. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called it "good riddance." Srinivasan argues her visa was canceled unfairly, leading to her expulsion from Columbia.
