COURTHOUSE,
April 11 – 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.
On April 11 the
Administration moved to
dismiss arguing "Congress has
withdrawn district court
jurisdiction over the
challenges presented in this
action... Petitioner’s claims
also suffer from other defects
that render them subject to
dismissal. For one, Petitioner
cannot invoke habeas relief
under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 because
she is not “in custody.”
Petitioner’s challenge to the
Secretary of State’s foreign
policy determination is a
non-justiciable political
question.
