Leqaa Kordia, a 33-year-old Palestinian woman detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency since March, was rushed to a hospital after a medical episode, according to media reports from Al Jazeera. Kordia was detained in Texas as part of a crackdown on pro-Palestine protests on college campuses.
Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump met with Honduran President Nasry Asfura at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
