Hasidic religious worker Yehonatan Ovadia, 35, is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York and faces potential deportation to Israel over accused hate crimes linked to his pro-Palestinian views and participation in 2023 protests. He has been in detention since August after arriving in the US in 2022 on a temporary religious worker visa. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the case, which has drawn attention as an example of immigration enforcement intersecting with pro-Palestinian activism.
