US appeals court overturns ruling requiring release of pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi
A US appeals court overturned a 2025 ruling that required the release of pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi from immigration detention. The decision, which does not order his re-arrest, could make it harder for Green Card holders to use First Amendment claims to secure release from detention, following his detention after participating in campus protests against Israel's actions in Gaza.
