Columbia student protester can’t be detained for now as she fights deportation, judge rules
NEW YORK — A Columbia University student from South Korea who is facing potential deportation for her involvement in a pro-Palestinian protest can’t be taken into immigration detention for now, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. As a Manhattan federal judge considered Chung’s case Tuesday, another federal jurist in Syracuse considered the case of Cornell University doctoral student Momodou Taal. In Chung’s case, U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald said government lawyers have not yet laid out enough facts about their claims to detain the student while her case plays out. “Nor was it clear why Ms. Chung would pose potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences,” the judge said, citing a rationale that President Donald Trump’s administration has invoked in Chung’s case and those of other student protesters it’s seeking to deport. In a court filing, the Justice Department said Taal’s student visa was revoked for his alleged involvement in “disruptive protests” that disregarded university policies and created a hostile environment for Jewish students.
