Mohsen Mahdawi, a 34-year-old permanent resident and Columbia University student, was detained during his citizenship interview and later released by a U.S. district judge. The judge, Geoffrey W. Crawford, indicated that Mahdawi's detention appeared retaliatory due to his outspoken criticism of Israel's military actions in Gaza. Supporters celebrated his release, while Mahdawi declared his defiance against the Trump administration's stance. Despite being targeted for deportation under an obscure immigration law, Mahdawi has not been charged with any crime, raising concerns about free speech and government actions against dissenters.
I am saying it clear and loud to President Trump and his Cabinet: I am not afraid of you. Never give up on the idea that justice will prevail.
The government has not accused Mahdawi of a crime, yet they seek to deport him to undermine U.S. foreign policy.
