Two Columbia University students have been arrested by ICE related to their roles in pro-Palestinian protests, which have drawn accusations of violence and anti-Semitism on campus. Mohsen Mahdawi is awaiting a federal judge's decision on his deportation case in Vermont while Mahmoud Khalil remains in a Louisiana jail. Their defense attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, criticizes the judge's ruling and claims the students are leveraging their prolonged student status to evade deportation, asserting they are inciting anti-Jewish sentiment and unrest in their educational environment.
"What's happening is, these are students that are pro-Hamas, they're causing violence, and with regards to the latest student who was grabbed in Vermont..."
"Lichtman says these students are only interested in spreading anti-Semitic hatred, which means there's only one way for students studying in the United States to act if they really want to stay here."
