A Columbia University student was detained by Department of Homeland Security agents Thursday morning after they allegedly made "misrepresentations" to enter a dorm, the school said.

Claire Shipman, the school's acting president, sent a letter to the school community informing them that the DHS agents entered an unspecified dorm on the campus around 6:30 a.m. and detained the student.

Protests took place on the school's campus on Thursday following the news of the student's detention but there were no reported incidents or arrests.

"Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.' We are working to gather more details," she said.
