NEW YORK (AP) � The U.S. Justice Department is investigating whether
Columbia University concealed �illegal aliens� on its campus, one of its
top officials said Friday, as the Trump administration intensified its
campaign to deport foreigners who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the school last year.

Agents with the Department of Homeland Security searched two university residences with a warrant Thursday evening. No one was arrested and it was unclear whom the authorities were searching for, but by Friday afternoon
U.S. officials had announced developments related to two people they had pursued in connection with the demonstrations.

A Columbia doctoral student from India whose visa was revoked by the Trump administration fled the U.S. on an airliner. And a Palestinian woman who
had been arrested during the protests at the university last April was
arrested by federal immigration authorities in Newark, New Jersey, on
charges that she overstayed an expired visa.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, speaking at the Justice Department,
said it was all part of the president�s �mission to end antisemitism in
this country.�

�Just last night, we worked with the Department of Homeland Security to
execute search warrants from an investigation into Columbia University for harboring and concealing illegal aliens on its campus,� Blanche said.
�That investigation is ongoing, and we are also looking at whether
Columbia�s handling of earlier incidents violated civil rights laws and included terrorism crimes.�


Blanche didn�t say what evidence agents had of wrongdoing by the
university. It was unclear whether he was accusing the school itself of �terrorism crimes� or saying that people involved in the protests had
committed such crimes.

The Associated Press left messages seeking comment from the university
about Blanche�s accusations Friday.

forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
