US Board of Immigration Appeals reinstates deportation proceedings against Palestinian student Mohsen Mahdawi
The U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals has reinstated deportation proceedings against Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student at Columbia University who was arrested following pro-Palestinian protests. An immigration judge had previously blocked the Trump administration's deportation efforts in February, ruling the government failed to meet its burden of proof. The appeals board overturned that decision.
