A Korean American student is taking legal action against the Trump administration to halt her deportation, according to a court filing. Yunseo Chung, a Columbia University student and legal U.S. resident, claims her residency status is under threat due to her involvement in pro-Palestinian protests.

The lawsuit, filed on Monday, indicates that the Trump administration views Chung's presence as detrimental to its foreign policy efforts. She argues that actions against her are part of a broader suppressive strategy targeting university students who express solidarity with Palestinians.

This legal battle underscores ongoing disputes over the classification of protest activities and their alleged impact on U.S. foreign policy. Chung remains free, though immigration agents have reportedly sought her at various locations, underscoring the administration's focus on protest-related deportations.
