Mohsen Mahdawi, who was born and raised in a refugee camp in the West Bank and is a U.S. permanent resident, was taken into custody in Vermont, his lawyer said.

"Earlier today, Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont, walked into an immigration office for what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process," they said. "Instead, he was arrested and removed in handcuffs by plainclothes, armed, individuals with their faces covered. These individuals refused to provide any information as to where he was being taken or what would happen to him."

"Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the United States, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention," they added.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Department of Homeland Security referred NBC News to the State Department, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Colombian student immigrant from the West Bank? Got confused for a second there. Anybody checked his tweets?

 

[SurferH2O]

He deserves due process, but if it comes up that he was pushing anti-USA subversive crap.... bye.

 

[Captain Tenneal]

He probably tweeted something antisemitic

 

[bongwater]

Get rid of him!

 

[Siver!]

The Blackshirts don't seem to know what they're doing hence they're unable to explain these instances.

Ironic that they wear masks, really, when they seem to operate while blindfolded.

So free speech warrants deportation?

The opposite actually. He stopped doing protests at Columbia specifically to build a better relationship with Jewish students

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Get rid of him!

But why tho

Maybe he fuct around too much and the "find out" part took some time to catch up before he 180'd.

An organiser of pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University has been arrested by immigration officials as he attended an interview as part of his application for US citizenship, his lawyer says.

Nope. He stopped protesting back in 2023 before the protest started getting out of control.

 

[Osculater]

Adios to teh American Dream, bro

 

[Sweater of AV]

It's an absolutely embarrassing way of going about things.

Hurting the feelings of Trump or disliking Israel and/or Jews isn't illegal. This whole thing of criminalizing anti-Israel speech is probably not going to end well. The US government doesn't have the right to deport anyone living here legally because they don't like what they say. There is no consistency here either. This administration isn't deporting people for making negative remarks about other countries, it's only criticism about Israel. This isn't going to help the mass noticing of who really runs the country, if anything, it's going to make it significantly more apparent.

Oh', so he was only supporting the Hamas lead terrorist attack on Israel for a little while.

Boo fucking hoo. Get them all out. It's a privilege, not a right. About time they started to learn that. He can go "protest" in his wonderful country.

Wasn't supporting Hamas. He was protesting the senseless killing.

And no, freedom of speech is a right, not a privilege. Can't deport a legal citizen for free speech

 

[HereticBD]

Wasn't supporting Hamas. He was protesting the senseless killing.

Sure, sure...

Yeah, it's right there in the Bill of Privileges!

 

[GrantB13]

My question is how long until these masked, plain clothed guys get shot by someone they try to grab?

 

[Misfit23]

The Jews really do run this country.
