Last Thursday Columbia University began suspending and expelling students who the school suspected were involved in legal protests.

It's unclear if Kordia was expelled but ICE cited an allegedly expired student visa as the reason for her arrest.

The expulsions were in response to a Trump threat to cut federal funds to the university which account for 1/4th of the schools operating budget.
