"Over the past few days, anarchy has engulfed the campus of Columbia University and created an environment that is unsafe for Jewish students and faculty," she wrote. "You have the ability and authority to put a stop to this and take concrete steps to hold accountable those responsible."
The House Republican described the protesters as an "unsanctioned mob of students and agitators permitted to continue to target Jewish students" and cited antisemitic incidents that have occurred as a result of their activity.
"Consequences are needed for those who are calling for terrorism and violent attacks," she wrote. Stefanik cited the Immigration and Nationality Act, which states that anyone who endorses terrorism can become ineligible for American residency, and noted that protesters are "brazenly endorsing Hamas and other terrorist organizations."
