Judge blocks deportation of Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi

A U.S. immigration judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot deport Mohsen Mahdawi, a key organizer of pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, his attorneys said Tuesday.

In the ruling, Judge Nina Froes said the administration failed to certify a memo that it had hoped to use as evidence in its case to remove Mahdawi from the U.S. The document was signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
