Columbia University in New York City said on Thursday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents entered a residential building and detained a student. The university said the federal agents entered the residential building at approximately 6:30 a.m. local time.
"Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.' We are working to gather more details," Columbia University said in a statement. "It is important to reiterate that all law enforcement agents must have a judicial warrant or judicial subpoena to access non-public areas of the University, including housing, classrooms, and areas requiring CUID swipe access. An administrative warrant is not sufficient."
