Appeals court reverses decision that freed pro-Palestinian Columbia activist Mohsen Mahdawi
A federal appeals court reversed a lower court's decision to release pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi, allowing potential re-arrest as the Trump administration seeks his deportation. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the lower court overstepped by intervening before Mahdawi's immigration case concluded, mirroring a prior decision against his former Columbia University classmate Mahmoud Khalil.
