Who is Yeonsoo Go? South Korean student and a priest's daughter detained by US immigration officials
Yeonsoo Go , a South Korean student, was detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents following a routine visit hearing at Federal Plaza Immigration Court in New York, according to media reports. Go, 20, the daughter of local Episcopal priest Kyrie Kim, was arrested and placed in federal detention nearby and was eventually moved, like so many recent ICE detainees, to a facility in Louisiana, according to CNN. The development comes as US President Donald Trump has vowed to launch the largest mass deportation operation in American history. As a part of the exercise, immigrants living in the US, both illegally and legally, including those with valid documentation such as green cards and visas, are being detained.

Speaking to CNN, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that Go was arrested and placed in expedited removal proceedings after overstaying a visa 'that expired more than two years ago.' 'The fact of the matter is those who are in our country illegally have a choice—they can leave the country voluntarily or be arrested and deported,' McLaughlin said. Who is Yeonsoo Go? Live Events Yeonsoo Go is a South Korean native and a Scarsdale High School graduate. She moved to the US from Seoul with her mother on a religious visa roughly four years ago. She was in the process of switching to a student visa. After completing her freshman year at Purdue University, where she's studying to become a pharmacist, Go returned home to Scarsdale in Westchester County to spend the summer with her mother. Go's mother, Rev. Kyrie Kim, serves with the Asian ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and, according to the church, is the first woman ordained in the Seoul Diocese of the Anglican Church of Korea, as reported by CNN. According to ABC7 NY, Go's lawyer stated that the 20-year-old was asked to appear in court on Thursday (July 31, 2025) for a procedural hearing on her visa renewal application. After the judge gave her a return date in October, ICE agents detained her as soon as she left the building. Go's arrest sparks protests The arrest of the South Korean student over immigration issues triggered protests during the weekend, with around 75 faith leaders and advocates gathering outside 26 Federal Plaza on Saturday morning to demand their release. Supporters from the Episcopal Diocese of New York, the Interfaith Center of New York, and the New York Immigration Coalition called for Go's release on Saturday (August 2, 2025) during a gathering in Manhattan's Federal Plaza, where Go was held immediately after her arrest, according to Davis and the diocese. According to CNN, the crowd of protesters prayed, sang songs, and marched with signs bearing the picture of the 20-year-old. Go's friends spoke about the positive influence she had on those around her.

Pakistan's begging network spread to foreign countries, annual income of Pakistani beggars is $42000000000
New Delhi: Begging has become one of the most important professions in Pakistan. The total population of Pakistan is 23 crores, and out of this, about 4 crore of people are begging. That means every sixth person in Pakistan begs. Pakistanis are not only begging in their country but are also adopting this 'profession' abroad. The Pakistan government is finding it difficult to handle its global image due to beggars. What does the Dawn report say? According to Dawn's report, the population of Pakistan is 23 crores, out of which 3.8 crore are professional beggars. The national average income of a beggar is 850 Pakistani rupees per day. These beggars reportedly get 32 billion rupees in alms every day, which is 117 trillion rupees annually. The annual income of Pakistani beggars in US dollars is 42 billion dollars. How much do Pakistani beggars earn? The Dawn report says that 38 million people are earning $42 billion annually without doing anything. This is directly affecting the rest of the country's population and is the reason for the rise in inflation. A report by the Business and Society Center in Pakistan says that the trend of begging is increasing in the country because it is earning more than other unskilled labour. According to the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), 2.5 to 11 percent of Pakistan's population is begging to earn a living. Express Tribune figures that about 12 lakh children roam the streets of the country's major urban centres. What are the complaints received from abroad? The Pakistan government has collected data of people traveling abroad to beg on the streets. These figures are being collected because 90 percent of the beggars caught abroad are of Pakistani origin. Iraqi and Saudi ambassadors have even complained about this to the Pakistan government. The Pakistan government has suspended passports of thousands of beggars who go to countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran under the guise of religious pilgrimage and beg. In the last two and a half years, 44,000 beggars have been sent back to Pakistan from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.
