Department of Homeland Security agents executed search warrants on two Columbia University residences on Thursday night – just days after anti-Israel agitator Mahomoud Khalil was arrested by ICE at an off-campus apartment, the Ivy League school announced.

Interim President Katrina Armstrong revealed the raids in a letter to the Columbia community and noted that nobody was arrested or detained when the feds searched the rooms of two students.

“Federal agents from the DHS served Columbia University with two judicial search warrants signed by a federal magistrate judge authorizing DHS to enter non-public areas of the University and conduct searches of two student rooms,” Armstrong said.

“The University has a clear protocol in place. 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.”

The “heartbroken” leader said she was “obligated” to comply with the law, adding that no items were removed and no additional action was taken by the feds.

“I understand the immense stress our community is under,” Armstrong continued, providing university resources for students in need.

“Despite the unprecedented challenges, Columbia University will remain a place where the pursuit of knowledge is cherished and fiercely protected, where the rule of law and due process is respected and never taken for granted, and where all members of our community are valued and able to thrive. These are the principles we uphold and that guide us every day.”

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
