Ranjani Srinivasan described her experience as “dystopian nightmare” where she felt at risk after fleeing the US. The third visit of the agents with judicial warrant didn't see Srinivasan at her home.

The DHS confirmed that an Indian Columbia University student self-deported after her visa was revoked for Hamas support, while a Palestinian student was arrested for overstaying her expired visa.

Srinivasan's troubles began when she became entangled in the government's crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests. Despite no evidence being provided, she was accused of supporting violence and links to Hamas.
