A Palestinian activist accused of making antisemitic statements and leading anti-Israel protests at Columbia University will not be deported<\/a> from the U.S., an immigration judge has ruled, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Judge Nina Froes determined on Feb. 13 that the Department of Homeland Security<\/a> (DHS) did not provide sufficient admissible evidence to establish that Mohsen Mahdawi was removable, Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Froes said DHS relied in part on a memorandum purportedly signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> but failed to authenticate the document.<\/p>\n

As a result, the government was unable to “meet its burden of proving removability,” according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

FEDERAL JUDGE LAUNCHES SCATHING BROADSIDE OF TRUMP’S EFFORTS TO DEPORT PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Mahdawi\u2019s attorneys shared the decision Tuesday in a filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York, which has been reviewing a prior ruling that led to his release from immigration custody in April 2025.<\/p>\n

Mahdawi, 34, had been detained at that point during a citizenship appointment in Vermont and spent more than two weeks in custody. He was later released on bail after filing a habeas petition.<\/p>\n

A federal judge ordered that he not be deported or removed from the state and was released under an order issued by U.S. District Judge Geoffrey Crawford in Burlington.<\/p>\n

According to the 2025 court filing, Mahdawi co-founded the Palestinian Student Union at Columbia<\/a> after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack. He founded the group with Mahmoud Khalil.<\/p>\n

Mahdawi’s deportation case also stems in part from allegations dating back to 2015, when he was interviewed by the FBI after reportedly making antisemitic remarks<\/a> at a Vermont gun store and a firearms museum.<\/p>\n

FEDERAL JUDGE AGAIN BLOCKS DEPORTATION OF ANTI-ISRAEL COLUMBIA PROTESTER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

According to court documents previously cited by Fox News Digital<\/a>, the store owner said Mahdawi expressed interest in purchasing firearms, including a sniper rifle and an automatic weapon.<\/p>\n

The owner claimed he had experience building modified 9mm submachine guns “to kill Jews while he was in Palestine.”<\/p>\n

The owner also alleged that Mahdawi stated at a museum in Windsor, “I like to kill Jews.<\/a>” Mahdawi has denied making antisemitic comments or expressing violent intent.<\/p>\n

At the time, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, Trish McLaughlin said in a statement, “As the media works overtime to glorify a ringleader of the Columbia pro-terrorist riots, court documents show Mahdawi allegedly told a gun shop owner that he had considerable firearms experience and he \u2018used to kill Jews’.”<\/p>\n

Mahdawi’s defense team has said federal agents conducted a thorough investigation and found “no evidence” supporting the allegations.<\/p>\n

In a statement Tuesday, Mahdawi said he was grateful for the court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n

“I am grateful to the court for honoring the rule of law and holding the line against the government\u2019s attempts to trample on due process,” he said.<\/p>\n

“This decision is an important step towards upholding what fear tried to destroy: the right to speak for peace and justice. Nearly a year ago, I was detained at my citizenship interview not for breaking the law but for speaking against the genocide of Palestinians,” Mahdawi added.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
