Yunseo Chung, a junior at Columbia University and permanent US resident, is facing deportation following her arrest during an anti-Israel protest at Barnard College. The Department of Homeland Security characterized her actions as 'concerning,' linking her arrest to broader issues around free speech and immigration rights. Chung's lawsuit against the Trump administration claims that such actions aim to suppress her rights and those of other noncitizens. Despite being a former high school valedictorian, her future remains uncertain as federal immigration proceedings loom.
Yunseo Chung has engaged in concerning conduct, including when she was arrested by NYPD during a pro-Hamas protest at Barnard College.
The government's retaliation against Ms. Chung comes in a broader context of retaliation against other noncitizens who have exercised their First Amendment rights.
