for her involvement in a pro-Palestinian protest cannot be detained by immigration officials for now as she fights the Trump administration in court, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald said in Manhattan court that the government had not laid out enough facts about its claims against Yunseo Chung.

The 21-year-old lawful permanent resident who came to the U.S. as a child filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration Monday, arguing the government is “attempting to use immigration enforcement as a bludgeon to suppress speech that they dislike.”

In a statement Monday, the Department of Homeland Security said she had “engaged in concerning conduct,” including being arrested at a protest.

Chung's suit said immigration officials moved to deport her after she was identified in news reports as one of several protesters arrested after

at a library on the nearby Barnard College campus this month.

Days later, officials told her lawyer that her permanent resident status was being revoked. Agents came looking for her at her parents’ home and also executed a search warrant at her Columbia dormitory, according to the suit.

Chung has lived in the U.S. since emigrating from South Korea with her parents at age 7, according to her lawsuit.

The Columbia junior's lawsuit cites the administration's efforts to deport other students who participated in protests against Israel’s military actions in Gaza. They include

All Jihadists and Jihadi sympathizers should be removed from our country. They are traitors supporting an evil ideology that seeks to kill us all. Fuck this slope cunt. Out she goes.

And yet there's no denying that Bibi the Baby Killer is a Jewish Nazi @Reggie_Essent

The only reason I didn't protest is I cant stand Hamas & the Islamic militants either.

They're both odious in their own right.

And yet no political leader should order the deaths & dismemberment of infants.

I don't give a fuck about the Jews or Israel either, Joe. Why they want to cling to that little sliver of hardscrabble shit ground they inhabit is beyond my understanding. But they've been there for thousands of years, long before the ancestors of todays "Palestinians" were settled there by the various Caliphates of the evil subhuman muslims.
