‘I am not frane to you’: Donald Trump’s ‘Loud and Clear’ message from Colombia student Mohsain Mahdvi out of court
Columbia university student Mohsin Mahdavi Ice was released from Ice custody following an order by US District Judge Jeffrey Croford. Soon after the Vermont came out of the court room, Mahdvi said, “I am telling President Trump and his cabinet clearly and loudly: I am not afraid of you.”
Mahdvi is a 34 -year -old student who is a legal permanent resident for 10 years. He was arrested with snow when he went to his interview about finalizing his American citizenship. While his legal team argued that he was cheated for his arrest, the Trump administration cited a memorandum by State Secretary Marco Rubio, arguing that Mahdvi’s activities could “potentially weaken the US foreign policy”, especially under a provision of the Middle East peace process, immigration and Nationality Act.
