Immigration officials detained Go Yeon-soo, a 20-year-old South Korean student from Purdue University, following her appearance at a New York immigration court hearing. The Episcopal priest's daughter faced arrest by ICE agents despite receiving a hearing continuance until October. Religious leaders and advocacy groups demand her immediate release from the Manhattan ICE facility. Officials challenge her legal immigration status while her family maintains valid documentation through 2025. Go entered America in March 2021 using an R-2 dependent visa linked to her mother's religious work authorization.

Her mother serves as the first ordained woman in the Seoul Diocese of the Anglican Church of Korea. Go graduated from Scarsdale High School and legally extended her stay in 2023 according to family records. Bishop Matthew Heyd criticized the detention conditions at 26 Federal Plaza during Saturday's protest outside the ICE building. The case reflects broader immigration enforcement concerns affecting Korean nationals. Another Korean student, Tae-heung Kim from Texas A&M University, remains detained after airport arrest last month.
