[NYPOST] The Columbia University student facing deportation after she was arrested at an anti-Israel protest can't be detained by the feds, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Manhattan federal court Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald issued a temporary restraining order blocking immigration authorities from detaining 21-year-old Columbia junior Yunseo Chung.
A Korean green card holder who arrived in America at the age of seven, the high school valedictorianess naturally joined in the fun — just part of the American college experience, donchaknow. Given that she was arrested, it seems safe to assume that the police finally winkled her out of her hiding place, wherever that was. | ''I don't think there is any evidence in the record that she would be a danger to the community,'' Buchwald said in court before issuing the ruling.
''The notion of putting this 21-year-old, who nothing in the record suggests is a danger — into ICE detention — is not a particularly appealing result,'' the judge said.
The feds have not claimed, for instance, that Chung had illegally possessed weapons or communicated with a foreign terrorist group, Buchwald noted.
But she’s a green card holder who acted to support a listed international terror group, so she broke the rules. | |
