US EditionPalestinian student remains detained in Vermont with a hearing set for next week
- A federal judge will consider on May 1 a request to immediately release Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student detained in Vermont.
- Mahdawi was arrested on April 14 by masked ICE agents at a U.S. Citizenship office in Colchester during his citizenship interview, amid his protests against the Gaza war.
- He is currently held in a correctional facility located in St. Albans, Vermont, while undergoing removal proceedings set to take place in Louisiana. The government maintains that his detention is a constitutionally permissible part of the deportation process and asserts that district courts do not have authority over challenges related to these proceedings.
- Mahdawi, a legal permanent resident since 2014 and Columbia University student, is accused of posing serious adverse foreign policy consequences, with lawyers calling his detention retaliation for his Palestinian rights speech.
- His attorneys ask the court to end unlawful retaliation, release him on bail, and highlight the threat his detention poses to free speech amid ongoing legal and political disputes.
