Columbia University student Yunseo Chung is suing the Trump administration amid its efforts to deport the 21-year-old, who has been in the U.S. since she was 7 and has lawful permanent resident status.
A lawsuit was filed Monday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) got an administrative warrant for Chung’s arrest and told the South Korean native that her status was being “revoked,” even though only an immigration judge can take away a green card.
Chung has been involved in the pro-Palestinian protests on campus but has not spoken to the press or been in a high-profile position like Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia student and fellow legal immigrant who has been detained by ICE.
Her name was mentioned in media reports after participating in a protest on March 5. She was arrested for alleged “obstruction of governmental administration.”
It was soon after, the lawsuit alleges, that ICE came after her, went to her family’s home to look for her and searched her dorm room.

The Trump administration has made clear it will go after foreign students who participate in the pro-Palestinian protests, labeling them “pro-Hamas.”
