Maggie Gyllenhaal’s daughter Ramona was arrested during violent anti-Israel protests at Columbia University this week, reports say. 

The celebrity’s daughter, whom she shares with actor Peter Sarsgaard, attends a New York college that has recently experienced a surge of protests. 

Following the latest protest on Wednesday evening, Ramona reportedly received a desk appearance ticket for criminal trespassing, according to sources who spoke to the New York Post

Ramona was reportedly among almost 100 demonstrators who stormed Columbia’s Butler Library as their fellow students prepared for their final exams. 

The protesters announced that the library had become a ‘liberation zone’ and renamed it the ‘Basel al-Araj Popular University,’ honoring a Palestinian militant whom Israel has accused of orchestrating a major attack. 

The protests at Columbia that Ramona was reportedly a part of come as previous demonstrations at the university have also been linked to organizations accused of funding the Hamas terrorist group, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed last year. 

The sit-in on Wednesday turned chaotic as several school security officers were injured, and at least 65 student agitators have so far been handed suspensions, school officials said. 

It is not clear if Ramona was one of those suspended after the melee, however many of the protestors were caught as Columbia trapped them inside the library and would not let them out without showing identification.

Ramona’s mom Maggie and her A-list uncle Jake have both previously spoken out about their Jewish faith and heritage. The siblings’ screenwriter mother Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal is the descendant of Ashkenazi Jews from Latvia and Poland.

Anti-Israel protesters stormed Columbia University's main library on Wednesday, where the sit-in turned violent as several school security officers were injured

Anti-Israel protesters stormed Columbia University’s main library on Wednesday, where the sit-in turned violent as several school security officers were injured 

Social media was flooded with footage of the hostile demonstration earlier this week, which showed protestors stampeded into the library and charged at cops. 

Students and some faculty remained inside the library for over an hour as they chanted anti-Israel slogans and spraypainted graffiti inside such as ‘Columbia Will Burn.’ 

But when the raucous demonstrators tried to leave the library, they were blocked by security guards at the Ivy League university unless they showed a proper school identification – leading to an hours-long standoff.

In one of the videos from the scene, guards could be seen telling the protesters they will be arrested for trespassing if they did not produce their school ID cards.

The blockage soon led an angry mob to try to push through the shuttered doors of the library, chanting ‘Let us out, let us out, let us out’ while their counterparts on the outside chanted ‘Let them out.’

The protests at Columbia came amid the university’s fight with the Trump administration to regain its federal funding, which was stripped due to its poor responses to previous anti-Israel demonstrations. 

Columbia University Apartheid Divest – which is taking credit for the demonstration – claimed at the time that more than 100 people stormed the library.

‘The flood shows that as long as Columbia funds and profits from imperialist violence, the people will continue to disrupt Columbia’s profits and legitimacy,’ it said in a statement.

‘Repression breeds resistance – if Columbia escalates repression, the people will continue to escalate disruption on this campus,’ the group warned.

It said it was demanding ‘full financial divestment from Zionist occupation, apartheid and genocide; an academic boycott of all compliant institutions, including the cancelation of the Tel Aviv Global Center; cops and ICE off our campus’ and an end to ‘Columbia’s occupation of Harlem.’

The group also demanded ‘amnesty for all students, staff, faculty and workers targeted by Columbia University’s discipline.’
