US Releases Palestinian Student From Custody After Citizenship Interview Detention

ai generated text

Mohsen Mahdawi, a 34-year-old Palestinian student, has been a legal permanent resident of the US for 10 years. He was arrested by US immigration authorities earlier this month, while attending an interview to become a US citizen. Mahdawi has been a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, having led protests against Israel's war in Gaza.

    1. Mahdawi has presented sufficient evidence that his speech was protected under the First Amendment.
    2. Even if he were a firebrand, his conduct is protected by the First Amendment.

    1. Mohsen has committed no crime, and the government's only supposed justification for holding him in prison is the content of his speech.
  3. PS
    Mohsen Mahdawi
    1. I'm staying positive by reassuring myself in the ability of justice and the deep belief of democracy.
    2. Never give up on the idea that justice will prevail.
    3. If there is no fear. What is it replaced with? Love, love is our way.
    4. To my people in Palestine: I feel your pain, I see your suffering, and I see freedom, and it is very soon.
    5. What did they do to me? They arrested me. What's the reason? Because I raised my voice and I said no to war, yes to peace.
