An update on immigrants who were detained in Trump’s crackdown on campus activism
NEW YORK (AP) — Just over a year ago, the Trump administration began an immigration enforcement campaign that swept up multiple people who had taken part in pro-Palestinian activism on U.S. college campuses.
The last of those people, Leqaa Kordia, was released Monday after the government stopped fighting a judge’s repeated orders that she be freed on bond.
Kordia, a 33-year-old Palestinian woman and daughter of a U.S. citizen, had been in detention since her arrest March 13, 2025, in New Jersey during an immigration check-in.
