The last protester held in detention following President Donald Trump's campus crackdown has been released. Leqaa Kordia, a 33-year-old from the West Bank who has resided in New Jersey since 2016, had been held in a U.S. immigration detention center in Texas since last March.

Leqaa Kordia was detained for approximately one year in the immigration detention center.
