Deportation Without Due Process: The Reversal of Mahdawi's Freedom The US appeals court's decision to overturn the release of Columbia activist Mohsen Mahdawi is a stark reminder of the erosion of civil liberties in America, particularly for individuals critical of Israel.
This reversal echoes a similar ruling against Mahmoud Khalil, a fellow student and classmate at Columbia University, highlighting a disturbing trend in the treatment of pro Palestinian activists.
Mahdawi's case has been marred by controversy since his arrest in 2025 during a citizenship interview.
