Yunseo Chung Sues Trump Administration Over Deportation Threats After Protests

Yunseo Chung, a Columbia University student, has taken legal action against the Trump administration to halt her potential deportation. Chung, who has been an outspoken participant in campus protests, claims that her visa was revoked following her involvement in demonstrations against immigration policies, leading to threats of deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Chung's lawsuit, filed in federal court, argues that her right to free speech is being infringed upon as a consequence of her political activism. The case has drawn significant attention, with supporters rallying in Syracuse, where Chung also attended Cornell University before transferring. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between student activism and immigration enforcement in the U.S.

The legal battle is closely watched by civil rights groups, who fear it could set a precedent affecting international students' rights to protest without fear of losing their legal status in the country. The outcome of Chung's case may influence future policies regarding the intersection of free speech and immigration law.
