Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter learns the hard way that actions have consequences after arrest at anti-Israel Columbia protest

Isra Hirsi, the 21-year-old daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), is not happy that her actions have consequences.

Last week, Hirsi was one of more than 100 students arrested for setting up and participating in the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on Columbia University’s campus.

The anti-Israel protest remains ongoing, forcing Columbia to cancel in-person classes on Monday. The protest, moreover, is reportedly threatening the safety of Jewish students.
