YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFederal immigration agents lied their way into a Columbia University dorm and detained a student while she slept. 🚨 According to CNN, Homeland Security agents claimed they were searching for a missing person to gain access to a non-public campus building, where they arrested Eli Agayeva, a senior majoring in neuroscience and political science. ⚖️ They did not have a judicial warrant, which Columbia requires to enter restricted spaces. Instead, they used a fabricated story to get through the door. Agayeva later posted that she had been arrested illegally. Hours after public officials intervened, she was released, saying she was safe but in shock. 📄 This is not an isolated case. Other students have faced detention without proper warrants, and state leaders are now pushing legislation to block ICE from entering sensitive locations like schools and dormitories. When federal agents have to lie to carry out an arrest, it raises serious questions about legality and accountability. ⏳
