The Application
Chung, a permanent resident, participated in a pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University, and ICE initiated deportation proceedings against her. If the government cannot articulate independent INA grounds for removal, or if the deportation is pretextual or retaliatory for her protected political speech, the agency action would violate both immigration law and constitutional protections.
The Conclusion
Case is active in SDNY before Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald as of March 24, 2025; no decision on the merits has been issued regarding whether the deportation constitutes unlawful retaliation for constitutionally protected activity.
