(NY Post) The Palestinian Columbia University student who was arrested by ICE after leading anti-Israel protests on campus was set free on Wednesday by a judge who said he wasn’t a risk to the public.
Mohsen Mahdawi, 34, was released from custody following an order from US District Judge Geoffrey Crawford, with the defiant protester sending a message to President Trump and his administration immediately after his release.
The judge said that he did not believe Mahdawi posed any risk to the public, nor was he a flight risk, WPTZ reported.
Mahdawi, a legal permanent resident for 10 years, was arrested on April 14 during an interview about finalizing his US citizenship.
