New York, May 31 (RHC)-- In New York City, a judge extended a temporary restraining order protecting Columbia University student Yunseo Chung from deportation until a hearing next Thursday, June 5th. 

Chung, a South Korean national, is a green card holder who has lived in the U.S. since she was 7-years-old.  She’s been targeted by immigration authorities for participating in Palestinian rights protests at Columbia. 

Community members rallied in support of Chung as her lawyers appeared in court this week. 
Yunmi from the group Nodutdol said: “She’s being attacked because she has views that go against the Trump administration and their desires in Israel and also against the general ruling class.  So, by persecuting her on also baseless grounds — there’s no evidence against her — who can say what the Trump administration and the federal government are willing to do next to anyone, regardless of their immigration status?”
