Daughter of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard arrested at Columbia University protests

The daughter of actors Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard was among those arrested at the latest Columbia University protests, marking the latest development in the anti-war demonstrations that also led to the temporary suspension of student journalists. On Friday, the New York Post reported that 18-year-old Ramona Sarsgaard, a Columbia freshman, was arrested during Wednesday’s campus protests where students demonstrated against Israel’s deadly war in Gaza. The arrest of Sarsgaard, along with dozens of others, came after anti-war student activists occupied part of the main Butler library building on Columbia University for several hours in a show of solidarity with Palestinian liberation. In recent months, federal officials have detained numerous students for their anti-war activism, including Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia University student and green-card holder, who was recently released. Others detained include Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate who remains in custody at an immigration detention facility in Louisiana.
