Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian green card holder and student at Columbia University, has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a citizenship interview in Colchester, Vermont. Mahdawi, known for his pro-Palestinian activism, was reportedly expecting to complete his naturalization process when federal agents detained him. This incident marks another arrest of a Columbia student involved in protest activities, coinciding with heightened scrutiny and deportation threats surrounding immigrant rights. Advocates and legal experts have condemned the arrest, highlighting concerns over free speech and the targeting of activists on college campuses.
