Palestinian woman detained since 2025 over visa issues and activism, facing possible deportation to Israel.
Leqaa Kordia, a 33-year-old Palestinian woman from Ramallah, has been detained by ICE since March 2025 after appearing at an immigration office in Newark, New Jersey, where she was taken into custody and transferred to a Texas detention center.
She entered the U.S. in 2016, had her green card application approved in 2021, but allegedly lost her student visa due to incorrect advice.
Kordia, who participated in pro-Palestinian protests linked to the war in Gaza—where over 200 of her relatives were killed—has not been seen since being hospitalized.
Her legal team says she was targeted for activism, while the government cites visa overstays and financial transfers to the Middle East as grounds for detention.
She remains the only individual from the Columbia protests still in custody, and her potential deportation to Israel has raised concerns about her safety.
