NEW YORK — The Department of Homeland Security raided the dorm rooms of two Columbia University students on Thursday night, just days after authorities detained a prominent pro-Palestinian activist in university housing.

In an email, Interim President Katrina Armstrong wrote that she was “heartbroken” to inform students and faculty of the federal agents’ visit. The students were not arrested or detained, she said. As of Friday morning, no further action had been taken.

“The University has a clear protocol in place,” Armstrong wrote, linking to guidance on “Potential Visits to Campus By U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agents.”

“Consistent with this protocol, our longstanding practice, and the practices of cities and institutions throughout the country, the University requires that law enforcement have a judicial warrant to enter non-public University areas, including residential University buildings. Tonight, that threshold was met.”
