Radical Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) daughter Isra Hirsi has been suspended from college over her role in a pro-Hamas protest.
Hirsi revealed Thursday she has been suspended from Barnard College over her involvement in the protests on Columbia University’s campus.
“I’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege,” the 21-year-old wrote on X.
“I have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings.
“I just received notice that I am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.”
Hirsi was suspended along with two other students, identified as Maryam Iqbal and Soph Dinu.
They received notice of their suspension from Barnard Dean, Leslie Grinage, first thing Thursday morning, the Apartheid Divest said in a statement.
According to the student group, the dean’s email read:
“This decision is based on information received from Columbia University Public Safety that you have been involved in an unauthorized encampment on the Columbia University campus and you have not ceased participation in this unauthorized encampment despite repeated requests from Barnard and Columbia on April 17, 2024 that you do so.”
Hirsi’s suspension comes after at least three people were arrested overnight in connection
