"Apr 30, 2025
“To President Trump: I’m not afraid of you.”
Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian Columbia University student and lawful US resident living in Vermont, was released on Wednesday following a federal judge’s order.
Mahdawi had been detained by the Trump administration during his naturalisation interview, despite not being charged with any crime.
His detention is part of a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian students. The Trump administration has invoked a rarely used provision that allows the secretary of state to revoke visas and residency from individuals deemed threats to US foreign policy.
The judge ruled that Mahdawi does not pose a flight risk and should remain in Vermont, where he can continue his studies at Columbia University remotely. He is permitted to travel to New York City to meet his legal team and attend campus meetings."
