| Immigration judge rejects Trump effort to deport Palestinian student |
| 2026-02-18 |
| [IsraelTimes] An immigration judge has rejected the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, ..the Jordan-born, Palestinian graduate philosophy student at Columbia boasted to a Vermont Gun shop owner that he had plenty of experience with guns, having used them to kill Jews back home in Palestine — he started his career throwing rocks at IDF soldiers as a child and led anti-Israel Palestinian student groups since arriving in America a decade ago, true to the traditions in his family where a cousin is an Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade field commander. He is president of the anti-Israel Palestinian Students Union at Columbia, since 10/7 organizing violent anti-Israel protests and taking the opportunity to beat up Jews, for which he was arrested thrice; he did not think any of this an issue before he was arrested for a revoked green card on his way to his scheduled citizenship exam… who was arrested last year following his participation in pro-Palestinian protests.Lawyers for Mahdawi detail the immigration judge’s decision in a court filing today with a federal appeals court in New York, which had been reviewing a ruling that led to his release from immigration custody in April.
