Stop by 116th & Broadway to support Colombia faculty & students on a hunger strike to demand freedom for #LeqaaKordia, who this Friday will have been held captive by ICE for an entire year. TY to JFREJ’s art, ritual & culture team fo paining these beautiful umbrellas for the vigil. #FreeLeqaa
Mahmoud Khalil writes a heart-wrenching letter to Palestinian activist Leqaa Kordia, who has been unjustly detained by ICE for nearly a year for exercising her right to protest.
The 33-year-old Kordia has lived in the U.S. for nearly a decade.
#FreeLeqaa
Join the call to #FreeLeqaa by speaking out online and contacting your representatives to demand Leqaa Kordia's release.
Keep speaking out for an end to Israel’s genocide and for ICE out of our communities.
No one should be treated like this.
Leqaa Kordia's plight has not received the attention it deserves.
@rightsdissent.bsky.social, coalition sent a letter to DHS calling for her immediate release.
Kordia -- a 33-year-old Palestinian woman who has lived in the US for nearly a decade -- has been jailed since Mar. 2025.
#FreeLeqaa!
I I hope our principled Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social can do something about it!
#FreeLeqaa
As relieved as I am by the news of Ellie Aghayeva’s release, I’m equally horrified by the lawlessness of that federal agency that continues to run rampant — detaining innocent students and migrants and upending their lives.
I hope Aghayeva uses her platform to demand #FreeLeqaa.
This is beyond unjust.
Palestinian activist Leqaa Kordia will soon mark one year trapped in ICE detention.
Her only crime is practicing her right of protesting.
Under what she describes as torturous conditions, she recently suffered her first-ever seizure, @democracynow.org reports.
#FreeLeqaa!
Leqaa Kordia, a young Palestinian woman living in NJ, was arrested by ICE in Mar. 2025, months after protesting outside Columbia Uni., and put on a plane to a detention facility in TX

ICE has detained #LeqaaKordia in the notorious Prairieland Detention Facility in Texas, 1,500 miles away from her family for 11 months actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... #FreeLeqaa #FreeThemAll
Outrageous that ICE kept 33‑yr‑old Palestinian woman Leqaa Kordia detained for nearly a year — even after seizures/hospitalization/court orders to release her on bond, with near‑zero transparency to her family/lawyers. Zionist corporate media barely covers it. Blatant double standard. #FreeLeqaa
While in ICE custody, she has struggled with dizziness, fainting episodes, and other signs of poor nutrition on top of blatant violations of her religious liberties. #FreeLeqaa
Columbia student's ICE detention. The timing & selective enforcement are no accident. This is how protest gets criminalized. #FreeLeqaa #StudentProtests

Leqaa is the sister of a UM staff member, a Paterson, NJ resident, and has been held in ICE detention since March. Her abduction and case have received far less media attention than the others unjustly held (and released) by ICE this year. Please donate, share, speak up. #FreeLeqaa
