Rumeysa Ozturk , a Turkish doctoral candidate at Tufts University , and Mohsen Mahdawi , a Palestinian student at Columbia University , were detained by immigration officials last month .

They were accused of expressing support for Palestinians or participating in campus protests.

Administration officials are asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit to pause the lower court orders.

Mahdawi 's attorneys secured a court order that blocked the Trump administration from deporting him or moving him outside of Vermont .

A U.S. attorney arguing against Mahdawai 's release said that keeping him in detention would be a "constitutionally valid" aspect of the deportation process.

The White House has been cracking down on students involved in pro-Palestinian protests.
