An Indian national whose student visa was revoked after federal authorities determined she advocated for terroristic activities deported herself to Canada this week, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
On Friday, DHS released surveillance footage showing Ranjani Srinivasan leaving the U.S. after registering her departure on the new CBP Home App, an updated version of the now-defunct CBP One App used by nearly a million ‘migrants’ to schedule asylum appointments at ports of entry along the southern border during the Biden era.
DHS Sec. Kristi Noem published the video on social media, stating, “It is a privilege to be granted a visa to live & study in the United States of America.”
“When you advocate for violence and terrorism that privilege should be revoked, and you should not be in this country. I am glad to see one of the Columbia University terrorist sympathizers use the CBP Home app to self-deport.”

On March 5, the Department of State cancelled Srinivasan’s F-1 visa, citing her involvement in pro-Hamas demonstrations.
According to Jennie Taer of the New York Post, Srinivasan had failed to report two court summonses she received in connection with protest activities, which likely placed her in violation of her visa requirements.
“Goodbye,” wrote Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor for President Trump, in response to the news.
DHS also revealed that Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian student who overstayed her F-1 visa, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week.
