Pro-Palestinian student and permanent US resident sues to halt deportation

25/3/2025 11:43

A Korean American Columbia University student, who is a legal permanent U.S. resident and has participated in pro-Palestinian protests, sued the administration of President Donald Trump on Monday to prevent her deportation, a court filing showed.



Yunseo Chung, 21, has lived in the U.S. since she was seven, but her legal team was informed two weeks ago that her lawful permanent resident status was being revoked, according to the court filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.



The Trump administration says her U.S. presence hinders its foreign policy agenda, according to the lawsuit.



Chung has not yet been arrested. Immigration agents have made multiple visits to her residences looking for her.
