The Trump administration wants to deport people it claims are terrorist
0:05
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
sympathizers,
0:06
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
including students who attend protests.
0:09
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
When I showed up at my door and the international student's office
0:13
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
stopped reaching out to me,
0:15
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
I realized that I'm not going to get any answers.
0:17
S… Speaker 3 (COLUMBIA)
Why one Columbia
0:21
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
University student had to flee to Canada just a few months shy
0:25
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
of finishing her PhD.
0:38
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
It's Monday, March 17th,
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
and this is Here and Now,
0:41
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
anytime from NPR and WVUR.
0:43
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
I'm Chris Bentley.
0:44
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
Today on the show,
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
the U .S.
0:49
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
escalated its undeclared war in Yemen over the weekend,
0:52
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
bombing military targets,
0:54
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
but also residential areas,
0:56
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
and setting up a broader confrontation with Iran.
0:59
S… Speaker 4 (COLUMBIA)
We will hold not only the Houthis accountable,
1:03
S… Speaker 4 (COLUMBIA)
but we're going to hold Iran,
1:05
S… Speaker 4 (COLUMBIA)
their backers,
1:06
S… Speaker 4 (COLUMBIA)
accountable as well.
1:09
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
We'll get the lay of the land for the NCAA basketball tournament.
1:12
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
Yes,
1:13
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
it's almost spring and March Madness is in the air.
1:16
S… Speaker 5 (COLUMBIA)
But
1:22
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
first, green cards,
1:24
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
student visas,
1:25
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
and what many free speech advocates see as the Trump administration's
1:30
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
criminalization of protests.
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
Last week,
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
we reported on the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil,
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
a grad student at Columbia University and lawful permanent resident
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
of the United States,
1:41
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
who was detained by Homeland Security,
1:43
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
apparently for participating in protests against Israel's war in
1:47
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
Gaza.
1:48
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
The Trump administration wants to revoke his green card and
1:52
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
deport him,
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
even though it has not charged him with a crime.
1:55
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
His fight is now playing out in federal court.
1:58
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
But he's not the only Columbia student they're going after.
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
Ranjani Srinivasan was set to get her PhD in urban planning
2:07
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
in May,
2:07
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
but then ice came knocking.
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
Now she finds herself in Canada,
2:13
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
with her student visa revoked and her plans for the future uncertain.
2:17
S… Speaker 3 (COLUMBIA)
Well,
2:18
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
we wanted to hear her story,
2:19
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
so we reached out,
2:21
S… Speaker 1 (COLUMBIA)
and here's her conversation with Scott Tong.
2:24
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
You came to the United States nine years ago,
2:26
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
I understand,
2:27
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
on a student visa.
2:28
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
And then about a week and a half ago,
2:30
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
you learned your visa was revoked.
2:33
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
How did you react?
2:34
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
Actually,
2:35
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
Scott, initially I thought it was spam.
2:37
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
There were very few details in this email.
2:39
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
It was from the consulate from the city that I live in.
2:43
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
And it just said some information had come to light that made me
2:47
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
ineligible for the visa or might make me ineligible for a visa,
2:51
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
which really didn't tell me anything at all.
2:54
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
But as the situation sort of devolved,
2:57
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
I became extremely scared,
2:59
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
but having very little information all throughout the process.
3:03
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
And then did you try to go to the U .S.
3:05
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
government, State Department,
3:06
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
Homeland Security to ask for more information?
3:09
S… Speaker 6 (COLUMBIA)
Like, why did this happen?
3:10
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
I initially approached my international student's office at Columbia
3:15
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
to find out what had happened and hope that they could,
3:18
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
you know, request more information from the state government.
3:21
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
But when I showed up at my door and the international
3:25
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
student's office stopped reaching out to me,
3:28
S… Speaker 2 (COLUMBIA)
I realized that I'm not going to get any answers.
