Note: Just like Mohsen Mahdawi, ICE snatched Leqaa at what she thought was a routine immigration check-in, after she protested Israel’s genocide of Gaza.

They then took her from New Jersey to Texasβ€”where she’s been detained for nearly a year.

Now she’s hospitalized and her whereabouts are unknown.
