A judge has ruled that a Korean American Columbia University student, who is a legal permanent US resident and has participated in pro-Palestinian protests, cannot be detained by federal immigration officials as she fights the Trump administration's attempts to deport her. The administration has accused foreign pro-Palestinian protesters of supporting Hamas and being antisemitic, while protesters argue that their criticism of Israel and support for Palestinian rights is not the same as antisemitism. The judge issued a temporary restraining order against the government to prevent the student from being detained.
