Mohsen Mahdawi was arrested at his naturalization interview with US Citizenship and Immigration Services on April 14th .

He had been in hiding for weeks , fearing he might be arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement .

A friend captured the arrest on video and says he knew he was going to be arrested.

A federal judge in Vermont issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting DHS from deporting Mahdawi for now.

Advocates are calling for his release, noting that he has spoken out against both antisemitism and Israel ’s treatment of Palestinians .

Like others arrested by ICE for their pro-Palestine activism, he is likely being targeted for statements that would have no legal repercussions if he were a US citizen.
