A student from Columbia University has initiated legal action against President Donald Trump and several high-ranking officials. This follows efforts to revoke her status as a permanent resident and deport her from the U.S.

The lawsuit was brought forth on Monday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued an administrative warrant for the arrest of 21-year-old Yunseo Chung, a South Korean citizen, informing her that her resident status was being “rescinded.”

The legal complaint claims that these actions are “part of a broader initiative by the U.S. government to suppress constitutionally protected protest activities.”

“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.
