Palestinian woman, Leqaa Kordia, was released on $100,000 bond after a year in immigration detention in North Texas. Kordsia, a 33-year-old Palestinian woman from the West Bank, had been held in a U.S. immigration detention center since March. She was among around 100 people arrested outside Columbia University during protests in 2024. An immigration judge had previously released Korda on bond three times, but she was freed after the government did not challenge the third time. Korders had been accused of overstaying her visa and scrutinizing payments she sent to relatives in the Middle East. She said the money was intended to help family members during the war.
