COURTHOUSE,
April 10 – Yunseo Chung filed
on March 24 seeking a
temporary restraining order
against detention and removal.
At 3 pm on March 25 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Senior Judge Naomi Reice
Buchwald held an emergency
hearing. Inner City Press was
there. From the thread:
All rise!
Judge Buchwald: I'm prepared
to sign the TRO, not
preliminary injunction
Oestericher: Give
me a moment... Why is point 3
needed?
Judge: No trips
to Louisiana, as in that other
case in this court [Mahmoud
Khalil]
Oestericher:
We'll file by April 11. I'm
constrained to lightly
object. Judge: Then they
get two weeks, April 29. I
have a non-jury trial starting
then - so oral argument May 20
at 11 am.
On April 4
Chung's lawyer filed
requesting all "materials
underlying the warrant issued
on March 13, 2025, authorizing
federal law enforcement to
search for and seize documents
from Ms. Chung’s Columbia
University-owned residence" -

On April 10
Chung's lawyer, attaching the
memo filed in Louisiana
immigration court on Mahmoud
Khalil, but not the attachments
to it, asked for discovery,
including a deposition,
presumably of an ICE or State
Department official.
