US EditionUS judge blocks detention of British social media campaigner
A U.S. judge blocked the detention of British campaigner Imran Ahmed, who challenges a visa ban linked to alleged coercion of U.S. social media platforms, court documents state.
- A federal judge in New York blocked the detention of a British campaigner as he challenges US officials in court.
- The State Department said on Tuesday that Imran Ahmed was among five European figures accused of trying to 'coerce' US social media platforms and denied visas.
- The lawsuit argues deportation would separate Ahmed from his US citizen wife and child, and he named Marco Rubio, US senator, and Kristi Noem, governor of South Dakota, in his complaint.
- The European Commission said it sought clarification and `will respond swiftly and decisively`, while Marco Rubio, US Senator, warned of serious foreign policy risks.
- The dispute centers on the EU's Digital Services Act, with the US threatening visa restrictions for Ahmed, who has clashed with Elon Musk and X, the platform formerly called Twitter.
