华盛顿，2月9日（路透社）- 美国国土安全部周一表示，一名在加沙战争中失去数十名家人的巴勒斯坦女子，在美国移民拘留期间突发癫痫后被送往医院。
2026年2月6日晚上8:45左右，“德克萨斯州阿尔瓦拉多市普雷里尔兰拘留中心的医护人员通知美国移民与海关执法局（ICE），被拘留者莱卡·科迪亚（Leqaa Kordia）因癫痫发作被送往德克萨斯州伯利森市的德克萨斯健康休格利医院接受进一步评估，”国土安全部发言人表示。

科迪亚是一名33岁的穆斯林巴勒斯坦女性，居住在美国，其母亲是美国公民。她于去年年初被美国移民当局拘留。
她是在与移民官员在纽瓦克移民与海关执法局现场办公室会面时被拘留的，当时她有律师陪同。去年被拘留时，科迪亚正在办理合法居留手续。
她的家人和法律团队在周末的声明中称，他们尚未收到美国当局关于她健康状况的任何沟通。目前无法立即联系到科迪亚的家人置评。国土安全部表示，移民与海关执法局将确保她获得适当的医疗护理。
人权组织长期以来一直报道被拘留者对移民与海关执法局拘留设施条件的投诉，称这些条件不人道。联邦政府否认对被拘留者进行不人道对待。
大赦国际表示，自2023年底哈马斯激进组织发动袭击以来，以色列对加沙的进攻已导致科迪亚的175名家人丧生。
国土安全部称，科迪亚在以色列占领的约旦河西岸长大，因逾期滞留其已过期的学生签证而被指控移民违规。国土安全部还表示，2024年她在哥伦比亚大学支持巴勒斯坦的抗议活动中被当地当局逮捕，该部门称这些抗议活动支持哈马斯。
科迪亚和包括一些犹太团体在内的其他抗议者表示，政府错误地将对以色列袭击加沙及其占领巴勒斯坦领土的批评等同于反犹主义，并将支持巴勒斯坦权利等同于支持极端主义。
科迪亚称，她因支持巴勒斯坦的活动而被针对，并将拘留中心的条件描述为“肮脏、拥挤不堪且不人道”。
唐纳德·特朗普总统领导的政府通过威胁冻结发生抗议活动的大学的联邦资金，并试图驱逐外国抗议者，来打击支持巴勒斯坦的抗议活动。该政府面临法律障碍，而权利倡导者称，这种镇压损害了言论自由且缺乏正当程序。

WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) – A Palestinian woman, who lost dozens of family members in the Gaza war, has been hospitalized following a seizure in U.S. immigration detention, the Department of Homeland Security said on Monday.
On February 6, 2026, at about 8:45 p.m., “medical staff at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, notified ICE that detainee Leqaa Kordia was admitted to Texas Health Huguley Hospital in Burleson, Texas, for further evaluation following a seizure,” a DHS spokesperson said.

Kordia, a 33-year-old Muslim Palestinian woman living in the U.S. and whose mother is an American citizen, was detained by U.S. immigration authorities early last year.
She was detained during a meeting with immigration officials at the Newark Immigration and Customs Enforcement Field Office, where she was accompanied by her attorney. At the time of her detention last year, Kordia was in the process of securing legal residency.
In a weekend statement cited by media, her family and legal team said they have not received communication from U.S. authorities about her health. The family could not immediately be reached for comment. DHS says ICE will ensure she receives proper medical care.
Rights groups have long reported on detainee complaints about conditions in ICE detention facilities, calling the conditions inhumane. The federal government has denied treating detainees inhumanely.
Amnesty International says 175 members of Kordia’s family have been killed during Israel’s assault on Gaza since late 2023 following an attack by militant group Hamas.
The Homeland Security Department says Kordia, who was raised in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, was arrested for immigration violations related to overstaying her expired student visa. The DHS also says she was arrested by local authorities in 2024 during pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University that the department cast as being supportive of Hamas.
Kordia and other protesters, including some Jewish groups, say the government wrongly equates criticism of Israel’s assault on Gaza and its occupation of Palestinian territories with antisemitism, and advocacy for Palestinian rights with support for extremism.
Kordia has said she was targeted for pro-Palestinian activism and cast the conditions in her detention facility as “filthy, overcrowded and inhumane.”
President Donald Trump’s administration cracked down on pro-Palestinian protests by threatening to freeze federal funds for universities where protests occurred and by attempting to deport foreign protesters. It has faced legal obstacles while rights advocates say the crackdown hurts free speech and lacks due process.
