Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia University student, was released from ICE custody after a judge ruled against his deportation under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Mahdawi, arrested during a citizenship interview, had faced accusations of engaging in threatening rhetoric towards Jewish students during anti-Israel protests. Following his release, he defiantly addressed President Trump, asserting his fearlessness despite the government's efforts to remove him from the U.S. The growing controversy highlights broader tensions surrounding free speech and immigration policies concerning protests on university campuses.
I am saying it clear and loud to President Trump and his Cabinet: I am not afraid of you.
The State Department insisted the West Bank-born Mahdawi is removable under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
