Columbia Student Released After Arrest, Defies Trump in Bold Statement

Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student from Columbia University, was set free on Wednesday after a judge in Vermont made the decision. The 34-year-old had been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for leading protests against Israel on campus. After his release, Mahdawi spoke outside the court, sending a strong message to President Donald Trump and his team. “I want to make it clear to President Trump and his administration: I am not afraid of you,” he said boldly. This story is still developing.
