New York Times: Judge Orders U.S. to Stop Attempts to Deport Columbia Undergraduate Yunseo Chung

The administration has been seeking to arrest and deport Yunseo Chung, who immigrated from South Korea as a child, after she participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

The judge, Naomi Buchwald, said during a hearing on Tuesday that “nothing in the record” indicated that Ms. Chung posed a danger to the community or a “foreign-policy risk” or had communicated with terrorist organizations.

Ms. Chung is a legal permanent resident. She was not a prominent participant in demonstrations on Columbia’s campus; she was arrested along with several other students this month at a protest at Barnard College, the Manhattan university’s sister school.

Robert Reich: Trump’s legal setbacks for the past week

Long read but a good wrap-up for the week:

And the federal courts seem to be holding firm, at least so far.

Consider what the courts did this week:
