A federal judge on Tuesday agreed to temporarily block the Trump administration's alleged efforts to deport a Columbia University student for her participation in anti-Israel protests on her college campus last year.

Columbia University student Yunseo Chung, who is originally from South Korea, sued the administration on Monday. Chung accused the administration of trying to deport her by revoking her lawful permanent resident status. She has been in the U.S. since she was 7 years old.

U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald agreed to Chung's request to stop the administration from detaining or moving her out of New York until she can make her arguments in court. 

The judge also ruled that if the Trump administration tries to detain Chung anyway, then they need to "provide sufficient advance notice to the Court and counsel, in order to enable Plaintiff Petitioner an opportunity to be heard regarding whether any such asserted basis for detention constitutes a pretext for First Amendment retaliation," per CBS News.

The lawsuit comes after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials reportedly got an administrative warrant for Chung’s arrest, after her name was mentioned in a March 5 media report. The lawsuit also alleges that the Trump administration is trying to deem her a threat to the foreign policy interests of the U.S. as a way to get her out of the country.

Chung, who is in her third year at Columbia, was previously cleared by the university of any wrongdoing.
