"A Palestinian man who led protests against the war in Gaza as a student at Columbia University was arrested Monday at a Vermont immigration office where he expected to be interviewed about finalizing his U.S. citizenship, his attorneys said.

Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal permanent resident who has held a green card since 2015, was detained at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Colchester by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, his lawyers said. "

    The attorneys said they do not know where he is. They filed a petition in federal court seeking an order barring the government from removing him from the state or country.

    They’ll try to ship him (if they haven’t already) to the prison from which no one ever returns, according to the president of El Salvador and the prison’s director. How can you keep shipping more and more prisoners into a camp without ever releasing a prisoner? Maybe they already have a “final solution”. It’s all feeling very much like Nazi Germany.
