🇵🇸 The last Columbia University protester still in ICE detention, Leqaa Kordia, describes conditions inside the Texas facility where she has been held for the past nine months. KORDIA: “Right now, we’re 87 people and the capacity is 37. A lot of people are sleeping on the floor.” “Another word for this place is a big bathroom. It’s open. Everything is open. There’s no privacy.” — A judge has twice ordered Kordia’s release. Both times, the government appealed, accusing her of supporting Hamas. Kordia has denied that in court. She told her cousin: “I came to America looking for freedom and freedom of speech - freedom of everything. You know what I mean? To be held here in this place for saying - free Palestine, ceasefire now - that was, kind of a shock to me 'cause that's not the America that I heard of.” 🎥 NPR shared the audio from a recent call between Kordia and her cousin, Hamzah Abushaban, who speaks to her nearly every day.
