By Luc Cohen (Reuters) -Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi was released from U.S. immigration custody on Wednesday, after a judge ruled he should be free on bail to challenge the Trump administration's efforts to deport him over his participation in pro-Palestinian protests.

A judge on Wednesday released Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian man who led protests against the war in Gaza as a student at Columbia University and was arrested by immigration officials during an interview about finalizing his U.

Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi was released from federal custody on Wednesday morning following a hearing at the federal courthouse in Burlington, Vermont.

Nsasrah was detained in an Israeli military attack on an emergency convoy last month in Gaza. New footage shows Al-Nsasrah’s emotional reunion with his colleagues after his release.

Ten Palestinians detainees released by Israel arrived at Aqsa Hospital on Tuesday, where they were examined by doctors.
