On March 24, 2025, demonstrators gathered at Columbia University to support Palestine and protest the detention of Mahmoud Khalil. Junior Yunseo Chung filed a lawsuit against President Trump and others after being arrested for participating in protests against Israel's military actions in Gaza. The legal complaint alleges government overreach in seeking her deportation as a lawful permanent resident due to her participation in protected speech and protests. The lawsuit highlights concerns regarding repression targeted at college students advocating for Palestinian solidarity and criticism of the Israeli government.
The lawsuit argues that the government's action against Chung highlights a broader trend of repression targeting college students involved in pro-Palestinian protests, undermining their constitutional rights.
Challenging her arrest, Chung's case underscores concerns over governmental overreach, particularly in response to free speech and lawful protest regarding international issues.
