This is dystopian. The govt does not even allege this woman played a major role in the pro-Palestine protests, like Khalil did. And yet they're trying to expel her to South Korea, where she hasn't lived since she was 7. I don't see how anyone can defend this. It's un-American.

NEW: The Trump administration is moving to deport a 21-year-old Columbia senior originally from South Korea who has lived here on a green card since she was 7 years old — because of her minor involvement in pro-Palestinian protests. They sent FEDERAL AGENTS to hunt her down.

The Trump admin says it must deport this woman bc she allegedly hindered its foreign policy goal of stopping antisemitism. I don't see evidence yet that she was antisemitic, but even if she had been, that's protected speech. You don't further liberal values by being illiberal.

I continue to be extremely dismayed by the number of people who say they passionately support the First Amendment, only to throw that out the window the moment they find expression they dislike. That is not how this is supposed to work.

The government has offered no evidence that this woman did anything to support terrorism, which is why a federal judge just ruled she can't be jailed during her proceedings, unlike Khalil. Stop taking the government's word at face value. It's not a good look.

There's a now-familiar supervillain monologue certain people on here like to give about how efforts to suppress their speech only radicalized them further and made their ideas sexy and dangerous. Would be nice if they made the connection to far more drastic state crackdowns.

Of course, a person has a right to play a major role in any protest, pro-Palestinian or otherwise. They can single-handedly organize it and fully fund it. Did the guy commit violence? Who knows. But I get your point.

If someone is not a U.S. citizen and wants to be in the U.S., they can be pro-America or be deported. It's binary. Congress needs to pass a bill to make it a clear zero tolerance policy. In fact, they should have to put the American Flag in their home and pledge allegiance daily.

Because she’s not a citizen. She attended protests in support of terrorists who have been holding American citizens captive for 18 months. She can return to her dirt of origin & support the terrorists from there.

Constitutionally, it doesn't matter whether her involvement was major or minor. She's still has a right to due process, and the First Amendment doesn't allow the government to revoke her green card just because they don't like her opinions.

It's pretty un-American for her to participate in or lead "Death to the Jews" rallies. She shouldn't be deported --- she should be terrorized in the same way she has terrorized the Jews at Columbia until she self deports, either from the country or the world.

I'll defend it. I like legal immigration, and we can't have the kind of immigration regime that you and I both want if the public is stripped of the ability to get rid of troublemakers. The result will be a permanently closed border. Think about the second order effects here.

Her rendition of what happened on March 5th seems to be a complete fabrication based on all available video evidence. The police weren't stopping protestors outside from leaving, they were positioned between the protestors and the building.

"Dystopian"? Our immigration system was grossly abused for decades--against the will of large majorities of voters who oppose unvetted mass migration. *That* was dystopian. Now, an administration is finally putting the immigration system back in order.

Remember how partisans on the Left dismissed the pro-Hamas protests on campuses as simply "anti-war"? Circumstantial evidence indicates the leaders of these pro-Hamas groups at Columbia knew in advance of Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack. They're not even pro-Hamas. They're Hamas.

protesters took over Barnard’s library, chanting “intifada revolution” & “from the river to the sea,” seen as violent anti-Jewish threats. They resisted lawful use of the space & ignored chances to leave. Yunseo Chung, a non-citizen, deserves deportation for breaking the law.
