A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt its efforts to arrest and deport a Columbia University student for participating in pro-Palestinian protests.

Yunseo Chung, 21, a legal permanent resident who moved to the US from South Korea as a child, had filed a lawsuit alleging immigration officials had executed search warrants at multiple Columbia facilities, including her dormitory.

The restraining order comes as another international student studying at Tufts University near Boston was arrested by immigration officials, according to a statement from the university.
