Columbia ready to work with Trump to bolster disciplinary process that was 'only on paper'

A Columbia University student has sued President Donald Trump and other top administration officials after they attempted to revoke her permanent resident status and remove her from the United States.

A lawsuit was filed Monday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) got an administrative warrant for 21-year-old Yunseo Chung’s arrest and told the South Korean native that her status was being “revoked.”

The lawsuit alleges that the administration is “part of a larger pattern of attempted U.S. government repression of constitutionally protected protest activity.”

“The government’s repression has focused specifically on university students who speak out in solidarity with Palestinians and who are critical of the Israeli government’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza or the pro-Israeli policies of the U.S. government and other U.S. institutions,” the suit reads.

In a statement to Fox News, a senior U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said that Chung “engaged in concerning conduct,” but will have the opportunity to present her case before an immigration judge.

“ICE HSI will investigate individuals engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization,” they said. “Based on investigative findings, the Department of State may make a determination which may result in visa revocation or other action impacting the immigration status of an alien in the U.S. Upon the determination from the Department of State, ICE will take appropriate enforcement actions.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Chung’s lawyer, Naz Ahmad, the White House and ICE for comment.
