Ranjani Srinivasan, a 37-year-old doctoral student in Urban Planning at Columbia University, is currently in Canada after voluntarily leaving the United States. Her decision to self-deport came after her student visa was revoked on March 5 by the U.

Ranjani Srinivasan’s student visa was revoked by U.S. immigration authorities. That was just the start of her odyssey.

On the night of the widely publicised Hamilton Hall occupation, Ranjani Srinivasan claims was not part of the demonstration but was returning home when she found the streets barricaded.

The Department of Homeland Security arrested a second student involved in the protests at Columbia University.
