Search warrants were carried out by Department of Homeland Security agents on two residences at Columbia University on Thursday evening. This comes shortly after Mahomoud Khalil, known for his anti-Israel activism, was apprehended by ICE at an apartment off-campus. The Ivy League institution confirmed the events.

In a message to the Columbia community, Interim President Katrina Armstrong informed that the raids had taken place. She mentioned that despite the searches conducted by federal authorities on the rooms of two students, no arrests or detentions were made.

Armstrong explained that the DHS agents, armed with judicial search warrants approved by a federal magistrate judge, were allowed to enter restricted areas of the university and carry out the searches as authorized by the court.

“The University has a clear protocol in place. Consistent with this protocol, our longstanding practice, and the practices of cities and institutions throughout the country, the University requires that law enforcement have a judicial warrant to enter non-public University areas, including residential University buildings.”

The “heartbroken” leader said she was “obligated” to comply with the law, adding that no items were removed and no additional action was taken by the feds.

“I understand the immense stress our community is under,” Armstrong continued, providing university resources for students in need.

“Despite the unprecedented challenges, Columbia University will remain a place where the pursuit of knowledge is cherished and fiercely protected, where the rule of law and due process is respected and never taken for granted, and where all members of our community are valued and able to thrive. These are the principles we uphold and that guide us every day.”

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
