Feb 17 (Reuters) - An immigration judge has rejected the Trump administration's efforts to deport Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, who was arrested last year following his participation in pro-Palestinian protests.
Lawyers for Mahdawi detailed the immigration judge's decision in a court filing on Tuesday with a federal appeals court in New York, which had been reviewing a ruling that led to his release from immigration custody in April.
