The Trump regime detained Leqaa Kordia, a young woman from New Jersey, for an entire year for using her constitutional right to protest Israel's genocide in Gaza.

At a hearing Friday, the judge said "I’ve heard testimony. I’ve seen thousands of pages of evidence presented by the respondent, and very little evidence presented by the government in any of this."

Monday she was released.

@randahl Her release is meaningful but a year is a year. That's a cost already paid that no court order reverses.
