US appeals court overturns ruling requiring release of pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi
A US appeals court overturned a 2025 ruling that ordered the release of pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi from immigration detention, stating his case should have been handled in immigration court. The decision could strengthen restrictions on Green Card holders using First Amendment rights to seek release from detention, following Mahdawi's detention after participating in campus protests against Israel's actions in Gaza.
