Note: Just like Mohsen Mahdawi, ICE snatched Leqaa at what she thought was a routine immigration check-in, after she protested Israel’s genocide of Gaza.
They then took her from New Jersey to Texas—where she’s been detained for nearly a year.
Now she’s hospitalized and her whereabouts are unknown.

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure.
Her whereabouts & health are now unknown.
The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

Something I learned as I became progressively more disabled is that the worse off you are, in any regard, the less likely people are to have compassion for you. Unhoused neighbors know this better than anybody. They deserve shelter and care. We all do.
man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you
