Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi released from ICE detention
Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian Columbia student who had been detained by immigration authorities when he went in for his U.S. citizenship interview, has been released after a federal judge’s order on Wednesday.
Mahdawi was taken into custody on April 16.
Mahdawi’s attorneys argued that the Trump administration is seeking to deport Mahdawi because he helped lead pro-Palestinian protests on Columbia’s campus in the early months of the Israel-Hamas war, in violation of his First Amendment rights.
