Palestinian protester released from US immigration detention

By Kanishka Singh WASHINGTON, March 16 (Reuters) - A Palestinian woman was released on bond from a Texas immigration detention center on Monday after a judge's order, the last pro-Palestinian activist held under the Trump administration's crackdown on protests against Israel's war in Gaza. Leqaa Kordia, 33, who was raised in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, left the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, after more than a year there and was returning to her family in New Jersey, her legal team said.
