US EditionCourt Documents Allege Columbia Student Made Violent Antisemitic Statements in 2015
- On April 30, 2025, U.S. District Judge Geoffrey Crawford released Palestinian student Mohsen Mahdawi on bail after his detention by ICE in Vermont.
- Mahdawi was detained during a citizenship process appointment due to allegations linking his activism to extremist activity, which his legal team contests as retaliation for his political speech.
- He co-founded Columbia University's Palestinian Student Union and led anti-Israel protests, while the government cited a 2015 FBI investigation that found no basis for national security threats from him.
- Judge Crawford stated Mahdawi’s conduct is protected by the First Amendment, emphasized Mahdawi is not a flight risk, and called the detention a threat to fundamental freedoms.
- Mahdawi’s release allows him to continue advocacy and defend his legal status, while Vermont officials and civil rights groups warn against using immigration laws to suppress political dissent.
