A Palestinian woman who was the last person still in immigration detention after the Trump administration’s 2025 crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists has been released. Leqaa Kordia is a 33-year-old from the West Bank who has lived in New Jersey since 2016. She had been held in a U.S. immigration detention center in Texas since last March. Kordia was among roughly 100 people arrested outside Columbia University during protests at the school in 2024. She had twice been ordered released on bond by an immigration judge but the government has challenged those rulings. She was freed Monday after a judge earlier ordered her released on bond.
Salvadoran nationals deported from the United States are arbitrarily detained in El Salvador and their loved ones do not know where they are or how to contact them. That's according to a Human Rights Watch report released Monday. The detainees are among more than 9,000 Salvadorans deported by the Trump administration since January 2025. The New York-based group interviewed 20 relatives and lawyers of 11 of the 9,000 Salvadorans who have been deported during President Donald Trump's second term. The report says they have been denied due process and that worried relatives have been unable to confirm where the deportees are detained.

Old Dominion shooter convicted of Islamic State ties released from prison just 2 years before attack
Court documents show the man opened fire in a classroom at Old Dominion University had previously been convicted of aiding a terrorist organization. The shooting Thursday happened less than two years after Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who the FBI identified as the gunman, left federal prison. He pleaded guilty in 2016 to trying to aid the Islamic State and was on supervised release when the attack occurred. Prosecutors say he talked about attacking the military during an FBI sting that led to his arrest. He also had tried to buy a rifle. A judge gave him 11 years in prison, plus drug and mental health treatment. It wasn’t immediately clear why his release from prison was moved up.
