Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN), says she's has nowhere to live or eat after being suspended for participating in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University.

Hirsi, 21, was part of a now days-long protest on the Ivy League campus in support of Palestine that has drawn heavy condemnation from both sides of the political spectrum, including the White House.

She and two of her Barnard College classmates - the college is a sister school with Columbia - are among the more than 100 protestors have been arrested, an NYPD spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com.

Hirsi, junior Soph Askanase and freshman Maryam Iqbal were all suspended. Hirsi has now revealed she has been evicted from campus housing and banned from the dining hall, leaving her without shelter and food.

'I was a little bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go? And also all of my s**t is thrown in a random lot. It's pretty horrible,' she told Teen Vogue. 

Isra Hirsi, the daughter of left-wing Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, says she's has nowhere to live or eat after being suspended for participating in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University.

'I don't know when I can go home, and I don't know if I ever will be able to.' 

She said the administration at Barnard College has hung her out to dry when it comes to being able to get food. 

'I sent them an email like, "Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my dining plan," and they were like, Oh, you can come pick up a prepackaged bag of food, a full 48 hours after I was suspended,' she said.

'There was no food support, no nothing.'
