The Fight Against Extremism at Columbia University: What You Need to Know

In a recently sat down with Ryan Mauro, a national security expert at the Capital Research Center, to discuss the growing extremist movement in America—particularly at Columbia University. What we uncovered is deeply disturbing.

Who Is Behind the Protests?

While the media portrays the unrest at Columbia as a simple student protest, Ryan’s research tells a different story. He has identified radical organizations, including Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) and Students for Justice in Palestine, as key players. These groups are not just advocating for Palestinian rights—they are openly supporting Hamas, promoting civil unrest, and calling for violence.

The Reality of the F1 Visa Loophole

One of the leaders of these movements, Mahmoud Khalil, is not even an American citizen. He entered the country on an F1 visa and was later granted permanent resident status. Many Americans don’t realize that permanent residency does NOT guarantee citizenship, and Khalil’s participation in these protests violates the conditions of his stay. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the U.S. has every right to deport individuals who express support for terrorist organizations.

Ilhan Omar’s Connection

Perhaps one of the most shocking revelations is that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter was actively involved in organizing these radical protests. While the media attacks conservative figures for far less, Omar’s daughter’s participation has been conveniently ignored.

Why This Matters

If America is to remain strong, we must recognize that our enemies don’t need to invade with tanks and missiles. They are already here, using our own laws and freedoms to sow chaos. The protests at Columbia were not spontaneous; they were meticulously planned. They involved vandalism, property destruction, and even the unlawful detainment of janitorial staff. This is not a partisan issue—it’s a national security crisis.
