Social media erupted Thursday evening after Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., revealed she had been suspended from Barnard College following her involvement in an anti-Israel protest on Columbia University’s campus in New York City.

Hirsi, who confirmed the news in a post on X on Thursday morning, was also one of several students arrested in connection with an anti-Israel event at Columbia later in the day and is set to face trespassing charges, NYPD sources confirmed to Fox News.

"[I'm] an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege i have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings," Hirsi, 21, wrote on X. "[I] just received notice that i am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide."

"[T]hose of us in Gaza Solidarity Encampment will not be intimidated," she added in a follow-up post. "[W]e will stand resolute until our demands are met. our demands include divestment from companies complicit in genocide, transparency of @Columbia’s investments and FULL amnesty for all students facing repression".

Hirsi was one of several students who took part in what Barnard College referred to Thursday as an "unauthorized encampment" that was originally set up on Columbia’s campus on Wednesday.

Hirsi's bio on X features a hammer and sickle — a Soviet-era communist symbol — as Washington Beacon contributor and political commentator Noah Pollak noted on social media.

"Ilhan Omar's psycho daughter just got suspended from Barnard over her Hamas activism, and she has a Soviet hammer & sickle emoji in her bio + pronouns. Perfection," Pollak wrote in a post to X.

Hirsi, who co-founded the U.S. Youth Climate Strike and has received fawning coverage from liberal media outlets, added the infamous symbol to her profile at some point in 2021.

"Barnard College has just suspended Ilhan Omar's daughter for her involvement in pro-Hamas and Iran protests at Columbia University," wrote Brigitte Gabriel, the founder and chairman of ACT For America. "Supporting terrorism should be grounds for immediate expulsion!

"Ilhan Omar doesn’t just hate America, she’s also teaching her kids to hate America," Gabriel wrote in a follow-up post. "Why are we bringing people to America who hate America? This is a road to terrorism."
