<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 13, Palestinian immigrant worker Leqaa Kordia, 33, a U.S. resident, will mark exactly one year since her detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and given a political prison sentence disguised as an immigration status case. She remains incarcerated in a detention center in Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leqaa is originally from East Jerusalem and worked as a waitress in Paterson, N.J. She supported her family while fighting to regularize her immigration situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leqaa\u2019s crime, in the government\u2019s eyes, was participating in a peaceful protest near Columbia University in April 2024 against the genocide committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip. She was arrested at the time, but the charges were soon dropped. She was arrested again in March 2025, after going to a DHS office to deal with her paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Leqaa\u2019s family members were killed in the Israeli offensive\u2014which receives military, diplomatic, and political funding from the U.S. government. Her story exposes one of the cruelest faces of the current Trump regime: the domestic persecution of those who dare to denounce the barbarities that American imperialism sponsors in the Middle East. Arresting activists who fight for Palestinian liberation is the expression, within U.S. borders, of the imperialist policy to subordinate Gaza as a colony\u2014first through fire, then through the silence imposed on those who protest and those who resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February of this year, Leqaa suffered a seizure, fainted, and hit her head. She spent three days hospitalized\u2014shackled to the bed, unable to speak with her family. ICE hid her whereabouts from her family and legal defense. \u201cThey refused even to remove the chains when I went to the bathroom or took a shower,\u201d she told The Guardian<\/em>, in an article published on Feb. 13. \u201cI felt like an animal,\u201d she said in testimony broadcast by Democracy Now! on Feb. 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leqaa remains behind bars. Even after an immigration judge authorized her release on a $20,000 bond\u2014an amount her family was ready and willing to pay\u2014ICE appealed the same day and kept her imprisoned. The official justification points to her having sent money to relatives in Gaza. In the distorted logic of the Department of Homeland Security, this would make her a \u201cHamas supporter.\u201d The accusation was dismissed by the judge on the case, Tara Naselow-Nahas. In her decision, the magistrate stated there is no evidence in the record that Leqaa supports Hamas or is a member of a terrorist organization, concluding that the court cannot consider sending money to a relative in Palestine as constituting support for terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump wants to silence activists in the country<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The persecution of Leqaa is not an isolated case. Trump uses the immigration system to criminalize international solidarity with Palestine and also to instill fear among U.S. working people, who can feel intimidated when seeing activists from various movements being harassed or arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration has turned ICE into a political repression arm. Mahmoud Khalil, Mohsen Mahdawi, Rasha Alawieh, R\u00fcmeysa \u00d6zt\u00fcrk, Sarah Shaw\u2014dozens of pro-Palestine activists, many of them students and immigrant workers\u2014have already been detained, threatened with deportation, or expelled from the country. Many others now live in hiding, afraid of being next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump regime is the political expression of U.S. capital in crisis, facing inter-imperialist competition with China. To try to discipline the working class internally, the government needs to increase the degree of repression. ICE is its military and political tool of coercion, used to sow fear and criminalize any dissenting voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unify the struggle for democratic freedoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The campaign to free Leqaa has gained prominence, especially because we know she is not alone; other activists for the Palestinian cause are currently being persecuted. But Leqaa\u2019s release will not come from appeals to the government\u2019s goodwill, or any disposition from bourgeois judges, or from the tepid opposition of \u201cliberals\u201d who choose to remain silent before Trump\u2019s repressive escalation. It will come from the independent mobilization of the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working people have already signaled the path in the Minneapolis struggles, when they took to the streets and confronted the state apparatus that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Strikes, occupations, marches\u2014these are the methods that build collective resistance capable of halting the brutal repression underway. Every day, new cases emerge: Palestinians, Latin Americans, students, Black workers\u2014all turned into targets for expressing opinions that displease the man in the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump regime wants to make an example of every dissident. It wants to demoralize them, isolate them, break them physically\u2014to implant fear in a population that is beginning to awaken and oppose his policy of war against the country\u2019s oppressed. Freeing them, therefore, is more than an act of individual justice; it is a key step in the political struggle against the authoritarianism growing in this country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leqaa Kordia must be freed\u2014and with her, all political prisoners of this government. Not one step back in solidarity with the Palestinian people! No retreat before the ongoing barbarism! Workers\u2019 Voice unconditionally supports the liberation of Leqaa Kordia and all those politically persecuted by the Trump regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
