A federal appeals court on Tuesday overturned a lower court ruling that freed Columbia student and pro-Palestinian protester Mohsen Mahdawi from ICE custody.
A Second Circuit panel, made up of one George W. Bush judge and two Donald Trump first-term appointees, determined that Mahdawi should not have been released from ICE custody in 2025. They argued that the Vermont-based federal judge that made the initial ruling lacked jurisdiction to do so.
The panel concluded that only an immigration court could oversee Mahdawi's detention challenge, as the case was inextricably linked to his deportation suit.
Mahdawi was arrested by masked agents in April 2025 during his scheduled citizenship interview. He later told ABC News that he felt the appointment was a "trap."

“Trump Judges” FU Yahoo FU.
The Second Circuit has vacated a district judge’s order releasing a Columbia student from ICE custody, holding that federal district courts generally lack jurisdiction over habeas petitions challenging the legal basis for a noncitizen’s removal.
Judge Livingston said the INA’s exclusive review scheme channels legal and constitutional challenges arising from removal proceedings to the immigration courts and, ultimately, a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals, leaving district courts without jurisdiction.
She also said Mahdawi could not avoid the INA’s jurisdictional limits by styling his case as a challenge to his detention. Because his constitutional claims ultimately attacked the government’s basis for seeking his removal, they had to proceed through the INA’s review process.
The panel also rejected a published ruling by an earlier Second Circuit motions panel that found the government was unlikely to prevail on jurisdiction, holding that motions-panel decisions don’t bind them.
The disagreement among judges could signal future en banc rehearing.
The court now extends this interpretation of the INA to New York, Connecticut, and Vermont following the Third Circuit’s near identical ruling in Khalil.
You can read the ruling here:
The article demonstrates maximum prejudicial language.
Thats a good outcome, but the article does not say what this America hater’s current status is. Hopefully he is already out of the country never to return.
“The article demonstrates maximum prejudicial language.”
I noticed. But, every other article I could find about the ruling was even worse.
“He later told ABC News that he felt the appointment was a “trap.””
So... shut-up and leave invader.
He is currently free and has not been re-arrested. I hope that is remedied asap.
My very first thought.
When have you EVER heard or seen the msm refer to a Biden or Obama judge?
Curious... the story tells us which presidents appointed the appellate judges, but not the original one. Hmmmm....
Why is that prick still here..deport his ass and be done with it
It’s the New Republic.
He later told ABC News that he felt the appointment was a “trap.”
Duh!
Actually it’s New Republic, when I’ve tried to post from what mods call a “collator, “ like Citzen Free Press , the mods block me. I must not fall into the top tier.
Uganda.
Ship the ho home. We don’t need that much skank in one load here.
Feral “judgettes” have no standing to keep criminal illegal aliens in America. They need to stay out of the illegal alien DemonRAT voter roundups the RATS are alway busy at. They need to be given little judgey handbooks that tell their dumb butts what they are allowed to do an what they’re not allowed to do. They need to stay in their lanes. Idiotic dorks in evil black robes.
Peculiar the headlines stating Obama or Biden judge blocked something. It’s always simply Federal Judge(s).
This POS has not been deported yet?!
