“Columbia University student and Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi, who was [abducted] by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during what was supposed to be a naturalization interview, was released from his detention Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Geoffrey Crawford ruled the green-card holder, who had been held in the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans, Vt., should be set free after weeks of detention, denying the federal government’s request for a seven-day stay on that release. Mahdawi is the first foreign student to be released after being [abducted] by the Trump administration for the purposes of [making political hay with anti-immigration authoritarian/pro-Israel supporters].”
