A 21-year-old Columbia University student who has lived in the United States since she was a child sued President Trump and other high-ranking administration officials on Monday after immigration officials tried to arrest and deport her.

The student, Yunseo Chung, is a legal permanent resident and junior who has participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the school. The Trump administration is arguing that her presence in the United States hinders the administration’s foreign policy agenda of halting the spread of antisemitism.
 
Yes, she believes in the US Constitution. Unlike you.
As a foreign national, did she:

Participate in a violent protest?
Make statements disparaging the US or calling for harm to it?
Support others who made such statements?
Offer support to government declared terrorist groups?
Give money to those doing any of the above?
 
You will not see assholes like Guno post on these threads. But Trump is using those Israel Firsters for the purpose of fascism.
 
Really? You psychotic or psychic or something? How do you know that?

The reality is, she took part in anti-Israeli, pro-Palestinian / Hamas protests on the Columbia campus. During those protests, protesters attacked police, took over university property and buildings, vandalized university property, and regularly in mass called for the destruction of Israel while showing support for Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups.
 
Never charged with a crime.
Irrelevant. You don't need to be charged with a crime to face deportation.

Security Issues

Even without committing a crime, someone who is affiliated with or promotes terrorist organizations, or whom the U.S. Secretary of States considers a risk to national foreign policy, is deportable
 
I use facts. Try it.

While lawful permanent residents (LPRs) generally have the right to remain in the U.S., they can be deported, and in some cases, without a full judicial review


Reversal of immigration status​

Finally, unlike citizens, lawful permanent residents can lose their legal immigration status.

Congress has enacted many grounds for deporting a noncitizen, or stopping them from entering the country.

Some courts have found that the U.S. government can deport a lawful permanent resident because of national security or terrorism concerns, even if the person has not committed a crime.

Does her mere presence at an event where vandalism or violence occurred make her guilty?

And was she protesting in favor of Palestinians? Or Hamas specifically?
 
Possibly.


Don't know her specific participation. Presence might be enough.

I'd really oppose this action if presence was the only justification.

It has a chilling effect. I might not agree w/ the causes of certain protestors, but I certainly support their right to air their views peacefully. The fact that some protests went south isn't something that all attendees could have anticipated.

In fact, the only violence was by pro-Israel people physically attacking students at UCLA.
