Representative Ilhan Omar’s daughter was arrested on Thursday alongside a 108-strong anti-Israel mob as the NYPD dismantled a protest encampment at Columbia University.
The incident occurred just hours after the Squad member’s wayward child was suspended from Barnard College for her role in the protest.
The Daily Mail reports that Isra Hirsi had “a worried face” as she was placed in “flex cuffs” alongside many other sit-in pro-Palestine protesters.
The protesters were issued a summons for trespassing and released, according to the NYPD.

Ilhan Omar’s Daughter Suspended, Arrested
Prior to being arrested, Omar’s daughter announced that she had been suspended from Barnard College, which is located across the street essentially from Columbia.
Hirsi was defiant following her suspension.
“Those of us in Gaza Solidarity Encampment will not be intimidated,” she wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
“We will stand resolute until our demands are met. our [sic] demands include divestment from companies complicit in genocide, transparency of @Columbia’s investments and FULL amnesty for all students facing repression,” she added.
There is no indication that demands have been met, nor is there any indication that the students are victims of “repression.”
Shocking video from the protests shows one of the mob attendees shouting “We’re all Hamas” and “Long live Hamas”.

On Thursday evening, Mayor Eric Adams informed the crowd that university president Nemat Shafik requested the police to remove a “clear and present danger” to safety on campus.
They were given ample warning and remained.
Some of the protesters were seen physically carried away from the encampment.

Many critics of the congresswoman were quick to suggest the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Why? Omar, likewise, was arrested at a protest in Washington, D.C. back in 2022.
Unlike Hirsi, however, Omar and fellow Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) faked being handcuffed when they were taken away.
Correction : it’s not clear in this video of @ilhanmn that she is in handcuffs – staff says she has been taken into custody along with other MOC during a pro abortion rights protest – it looks at the end of the clip that she is not in cuffs pic.twitter.com/PLtGJ2dR5C

Comedian Adam Corolla subsequently ripped AOC and Omar for the performance art.
“It’s insane how these women, who are amongst the most privileged people not only in the United States, but in the planet and on the planet, have to turn themselves into martyrs,” Carolla said.
“‘I’m going to constantly count myself among the oppressed,’” he added, speaking as if he were the congresswoman.
Mayor Adams says the police acted to ensure the safety of fellow students and staff.
“Columbia University’s students have a proud history of protests and raising their voices,” he said. “But we will not be a city of lawlessness.”
The city, however, is currently being overrun by lawless illegal immigrants.
