New York:
US immigration officials on Monday arrested another student of Columbia University, who participated in the protests of the Palestinian campus, detained him as he attended an interview to become an American citizen.
The lawyers of Mohsin Mahdavi demanded their release in a court and, stopping any imminent exile, claimed a growing rift on the immigrant student protesters of President Donald Trump that violates the US Constitution – the latest judicial challenge for Republican praise.
The court said that a Palestinian born in West Bank, Mahdvi is a legal American permanent resident since 2015, was prepared to graduate next month and was planned to participate in a columbia master’s program of this fall.
He is the co-founder of a Palestinian student group in Colombia with Mahmud Khalil, a face of the movement, who has been trying to expel Trump since his march arrest.
“White River Junction, Mohsen Mahdavi of Vermont, moved to an immigration office, which was considered to be the final stage in his citizenship process. Instead, he was arrested and removed in handcuffs by wore, armed, wore, armed, his face,” the Senator Burn Sanders said in a statement signed by other vermontal legists.
In a video broadcast online by Mahdvi’s friends, masked agents were shown loading a person in a black SUV.
District Judge William Sessions issued a temporary preventive order, in which the officials were barred from deportation of Mahdvi or they were taken out of the court from the court, taken out of the “further order pending” from the court, by a court.
The arrest of Khalil and other students associated with campus activism has created displeasure over the opponents, free speech advocates and some political rights, which says that the case will have a cool effect on freedom of expression.
Immigration officials have similarly detained and have sought to deport the student from Turkey, Rumesa Ojturk and Columbia student Younseo Chung, who is originally American permanent residents of South Korea.
His exile has now been blocked by the courts.
The Palestinian Youth Movement said on Instagram, “Mahdvi was active in Gaza and Palestine’s premises during the genocide of Israel in Gaza.
“His goal represents a continuity of the Trump administration’s campaign that began with the arrest of Mahmud Khalil last month, and has increased strategy by snow and DHS to kidnap and detain students and other nonsense against the Israeli massacre in Gaza.
“We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Mohsen Mahdvi.”
