As agents raided Khalil’s apartment, Columbia put out a statement addressing the presence of agents in the vicinity of the campus, and stated its intention not to cooperate with ICE’s actions except where required by law.
“Consistent with our longstanding practice and the practice of cities and institutions throughout the country, law enforcement must have a judicial warrant to enter non-public university areas, including university buildings,” the statement read in part.
“Columbia is committed to complying with all legal obligations and supporting our student body and campus community.”
