Detained Palestinian student must remain in Vermont, judge says
CBSN
Mohsen Mahdawi — a Palestinian student who was detained by immigration agents at a U.S. citizenship interview last week — must remain in Vermont for at least 90 days while his legal team pushes for his release, a federal judge said Wednesday, according to Mahdawi's lawyers.
In a Vermont court hearing, U.S. District Judge Geoffrey Crawford indicated he will extend a restraining order issued by another judge last week blocking the government from deporting Mahdawi or transferring him to another state, his legal team said in a statement.
Crawford scheduled another hearing in Mahdawi's case for next week. A separate hearing in immigration court is also set for May 1 in Louisiana, according to Mahdawi's legal team, though the status of that court appearance is unclear.
