Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student activist and US permanent resident, has been arrested during his citizenship interview. Mahdawi, who co-founded Columbia's Palestinian Student Society, has been critical of Israel's military operation in Gaza. His detention is part of an immigration crackdown by the Trump administration, which has revoked visas of foreign students in an effort to tackle antisemitism on university campuses. Critics argue that US officials are falsely accusing students of anti-Jewish bigotry and violating their right to free speech.
