Yunseo Chung, a 21-year-old Columbia University junior and permanent US resident, received a temporary restraining order from Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald, preventing immigration authorities from deporting her following her arrest during an anti-Israel protest at Barnard College. Chung, who emigrated from South Korea at the age of 7, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to challenge the Department of Homeland Security's claims of her 'concerning conduct' and impending removal, arguing it is unjust and lacks evidence of any threat to the community.
"I don't think there is any evidence in the record that she would be a danger to the community," Buchwald said in court before issuing the ruling.
Chung, a permanent US resident who emigrated from South Korea with her family at age 7, filed suit against the Trump administration Monday to prevent the feds from tossing her out of the country.
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told The Post in a statement earlier Tuesday that Chung was "being sought for removal proceedings under immigration laws."
