US reinstates deportation proceedings against Mohsen Mahdawi

Immigration judge Nina Froes's decision to dismiss deportation proceedings against a Columbia University student has been overturned by the United States Board of Immigration Appeals. The student, a stateless Palestinian refugee, was arrested last year during a pro-Palestinian protest and detained for two weeks without being charged. His lawyers claim the government is trying to silence his advocacy for Palestinian rights by weaponising the immigration system. The student remains unafraid and faithful that justice will prevail.
