Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student and activist detained by ICE during a U.S. citizenship interview, continues to remain in custody in Vermont as legal representatives and supporters rally for his release. A federal judge has issued a temporary order to keep Mahdawi in Vermont, with a bail hearing scheduled for next week. Concerns about increased arrest risks at immigration check-ins have been raised by lawyers, who warn that clients could face detention during these appointments. Following his detention, Mahdawi has garnered significant support in Vermont, including a visit from U.S. Senator Peter Welch. Protesters are actively decrying his arrest and advocating for his release, emphasizing the broader implications for free speech and human rights in the context of immigration enforcement.
