A federal judge in Manhattan halted the deportation of Yunseo Chung, a Columbia University student and green card holder targeted by the Trump administration for participating in pro-Palestinian protests. Chung filed a lawsuit arguing that the administration's actions aim to suppress dissent. The ruling by Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald emphasized that the government failed to provide sufficient evidence for its claims. This case occurs against a backdrop of heightened scrutiny and threats against pro-Palestinian activists and institutions amid increasing tensions surrounding antisemitism and immigration enforcement policies.
