Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter among students suspended at Columbia over pro-Palestinian encampment

The daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a vocal Democrat sharply critical of Israel, was among at least three students suspended Thursday over a pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia University. Omar, who made history as one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress and has been a sharp critic of the war in Gaza, grilled Columbia administrators Wednesday on protections for students protesting the war. “There's been a recent attack on the democratic rights of students across the country,” Omar said.
