A Purdue University student from South Korea has been freed from federal detention following days of protests by faith leaders in New York and abroad.

Yeonsoo Go was detained and sent to a federal detention facility in Louisiana after attending a visa hearing in New York. She was released five days later.

Yeonsoo Go, a South Korean student at Purdue University and the daughter of a beloved Episcopal priest, was released from federal immigration detention late Monday, days after her arrest drew outcry and an outpouring of support from faith leaders.
