South Korean Student Yeonsoo Go Released from ICE Detention After Outcry
Yeonsoo Go, a South Korean student and recent graduate of Scarsdale High School, was detained by ICE during a routine visa hearing due to an expired visa. Her detention sparked significant public outcry, leading to rallies and support from faith leaders and local officials. After being held for several days, Go was finally released from ICE custody following intervention from Congressman Mike Lawler and a growing movement advocating for her release. The case has drawn attention to the immigration system and the treatment of students on visas, as many call for reforms to prevent similar incidents.
