US immigration enforcement reportedly arrests another Columbia University protest leader
Luke Tress is The Times of Israel's New York correspondent.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement have reportedly arrested Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia University anti-Israel protest leader.
Mahdawi was arrested after arriving at a citizenship center in Vermont, The Intercept reports.
ICE’s database appears to confirm Mahdawi’s detention.
The database says Mahdawi is in ICE custody, listing his birthplace as Jordan. Mahdawi was born in the West Bank, but the ICE database does not have a category for the Palestinian territories.
Several Columbia University anti-Israel activists have been targeted by the Trump administration, starting last month with protest leader Mahmoud Khalil.
