Kordia first entered the US in 2016 on a tourist visa and obtained a student visa the next year.

In 2021, her visa was terminated for lack of attendance. She applied to have her revoked visa reinstated and was approved later that year. But she again failed to attend classes, leading the feds to again terminate her visa in 2022.

Berkeley was not only the first city in America to use racist zoning to prevent lower-income and non-whites from moving into wealthy neighborhoods -- but the Elmwood district was the first neighborhood in the city to receive such treatment. That 1916 plan persists basically unchanged to do this day, with the Elmwood having the highest percentage of white residents in Alameda County. The State is acting well within its obligations to put a stop to such policies.

This has nothing to do with historic preservation. Berkeley has even gone so far as declaring a parking lot as historic to block construction of an apartment building.
