From the New York Post: The Columbia University junior who filed suit against the Trump administration to stop her deportation engaged in “concerning conduct,” including being arrested at an anti-Israel protest earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday.
Yunseo Chung, 21, a women’s studies major who emigrated to the US with her family from South Korea as a child, was charged with obstructing governmental administration and issued a desk appearance ticket by the NYPD after her March 5 arrest at the Barnard College sit-in.
“Yunseo Chung has engaged in concerning conduct, including when she was arrested by NYPD during a pro-Hamas protest at Barnard College,” DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
The protest at Barnard was sparked by the expulsion of two students who barged into a Columbia class on modern Israel in January and tossed around antisemitic flyers.
Chung, a permanent US resident, was not in federal custody as of Monday, and is still facing deportation despite her lawsuit to stop the proceedings.
