Palestinian Student Detained During Citizenship Test in the U.S.

Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student who has been residing legally in the United States since 2015, is set to complete his degree in May. He has plans to pursue a master's degree at Columbia University in the upcoming fall semester. Following his arrest on Monday, his legal team has filed a motion in court seeking his release and an injunction against any potential deportation from the U.S. They argue that the actions taken by President Donald Trump against student protesters infringe upon constitutional rights. In response, the court has issued a temporary order preventing authorities from deporting Mahdawi.
