“But with Ozturk’s case—a brazen state #abduction in daylight, on video…it feels like a new threshold has been crossed.
When the gov rolls up on a young 🚺 on the streets wi/no charges, no warning, no transparency, how else can you describe it?
It doesn’t matter if you have a #greencard a #visa or, maybe, any legal status at all.
Each new case is pushing the limits of the #law & the #trump admin has already made it clear it doesn’t care if the #courts try to 🛑 what it’s doing.”

The lawsuit, filed in US District Court in Massachusetts, takes a broader approach than a flurry of other recent lawsuits challenging the federal govt’s #deportation policies on college campuses. Those suits, including 2 involving a #ColumbiaUniversity student & a recent grad who are #GreenCard holders, aim to stop individual deportation proceedings.

The lawsuit filed Tues challenges the #Trump admin’s overall approach to deportation, saying it is #unconstitutional.

#ColumbiaUniversity student sues #Trump administration over threatened deportation

#YunseoChung, 21, has lived in the U.S. since she was 7 years old

Mar 24, 2025

"A Korean American Columbia University student, who is a legal permanent U.S. resident and has participated in pro-Palestinian protests, sued the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday to prevent her deportation, a court filing showed.

"Yunseo Chung, 21, has lived in the U.S. since she was seven, but her legal team was informed two weeks ago that her lawful permanent resident status was being revoked, according to the court filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

"The Trump administration says her U.S. presence hinders its foreign policy agenda, according to the lawsuit. Chung has not yet been arrested. Immigration agents have made multiple visits to her residences looking for her."

The #Trump admin is trying to deport *another* student, 21-yr-old #YunseoChung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing Secy of State #MarcoRubio to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood.

Chung wasn’t a leader or heavily involved in the protest movement, she only attended a few.

The #US is seeking to deport a person w/a #GreenCard since she was a child because she went to a #protest.

Yunseo Chung moved to the United States with her family from South Korea when she was 7 years old and was valedictorian of her high school.
Pursuant to the Policy, and consistent with remarks made by Secretary Rubio and by law enforcement agents who recently arrested another student at Columbia University,? Secretary Rubio purportedly made such a determination as to Ms. Chung ("the Rubio Determination"'). This determination was based on Ms. Chung's actual and perceived lawful activity protected by the First Amendment: participation in protests and statements regarding Palestine, Israel, and discipline of student protestors on campus. Pursuant to the Rubio Determination, ICE, a component of DHS, seeks to arrest Ms. Chung, detain her, and place her in removal proceedings, presumably to South Korea. Ms. Chung is now at active risk of being put in immigration detention and deported from the only country she has ever known.

Ihre Papiere, bitte. #Trump Wants Immigrants on U.S. Soil to Hand Over #SocialMedia Accounts to Apply for #Citizenship

Trump is demanding social media handles for #citizenship, #GreenCard, and #visa applicants whether they're already in the U.S. or not.

by Matt Sledge, March 23 2025,

"President Donald Trump’s administration wants to force people in the U.S. applying for green cards or citizenship to fork over their social media handles, in a move with far-reaching implications as the government cracks down on #ProPalestine activists.

"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or #USCIS, which oversees naturalization and immigration, earlier this month proposed requesting social media names from people in the U.S. who apply for asylum, permanent residency, or naturalization, expanding a policy that used to only target people living abroad applying for visas.

"The proposal references Trump’s day-one executive order laying the groundwork for a new #MuslimTravelBan, which also asked federal agencies to identify #immigrants in the U.S. who hold '#HostileAttitudes” toward the government.

"'This policy would disparately impact #Muslim and #Arab applicants seeking #USCitizenship.”

"The shift would affect an estimated 3.5 million people per year — some of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades.
In light of #ColumbiaUniversity #protester #MahmoudKhalil’s ongoing detention, one official from a Muslim civil rights group said the new policy poses special danger for critics of #Israel and the Trump administration.

"'This policy would disparately impact Muslim and Arab applicants seeking U.S. citizenship that have voiced support for #Palestinian #HumanRights,' said Robert McCaw, director of government affairs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations. 'Collecting the social media identifiers of any potential green card applicants or citizens is the means to silencing their #LawfulSpeech.'"

The agents identified themselves as being w/ #DHS & told #BadarSuri the govt had revoked his #visa…
Suri…was put in #deportation proceedings under the same rarely used provision of #immigration #law that the govt invoked to deport #MahmoudKhalil, the #ColumbiaUniversity grad student & #GreenCard holder who led pro-#Palestinian protests on campus. That provision gives the secy of #State power to deport noncitizens if he determines their continued presence in the #US would threaten #ForeignPolicy.

#Germany …said earlier this wk that it was monitoring whether there had been a change in #US #immigration policy after 3 nationals had been detained.

2 of the cases have been resolved, w/the affected nationals returning to Germany, while the remaining case is being handled w/the help of the consulate general in Boston.

Acc/to Boston public broadcaster WGBH, a German man w/a #GreenCard was detained by immigration authorities this month at Boston airport & is being held in a #detention facility.

Schmidt was subjected to hours of intense questioning without being informed of the reason. His mother told Newsweek that two officers "violently interrogated" him, stripped him naked, forced him under a cold shower, and pressured him to give up his #greencard.

According to the report, Schmidt was deprived of sleep, food, water, and his prescribed medication for anxiety and depression. Eventually, he collapsed and was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was diagnosed with the flu.
