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.

Views of the Trump administration's deportation program headed into this weekend with positive net approval from Americans, including continued strong backing from the Republican base — but also heavily shaped by contrasting views about which people, and how many, are being targeted for deportation.
