"New Yorkers rally outside of ICE headquarters to demand freedom for Mohsen Mahdawi, the latest student abducted by ICE in the Trump administration’s attacks on the movement of students who have spoken out against the genocide in Palestine. An attack on one is an attack on all of us! #FreeThemAll , said The People's Forum on April 15, 2025.

Anti-zionist Jews of Neturei Karta International (www.nkusa.org) attended the rally.

"Just hours ago (on April 14, 2025), Palestinian green card holder and Columbia student, Mohsen Mahdawi, was detained by ICE. We will not stand for the illegal arrest of our students and those who bravely stand up against genocide and defend the Palestinian people," said The People's Forum on April 14, 2025.

"Today (April 14, 2025), Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian, was abducted by ICE after showing up for what he thought was an interview for him to obtain his US citizenship. Mahdawi walked into the immigration office and, instead of being interviewed by USCIS, was immediately placed in handcuffs by plain-clothed, armed individuals whose faces were covered. When asked, those arresting Mahdawi refused to identify themselves or share any information about where he was being taken.

Mahdawi was active on Columbia’s campus in organizing for Gaza and Palestine during the course of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. His targeting represents a continuation of the Trump administration’s campaign that began with the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil last month, and an escalation in tactics by ICE and DHS to abduct and detain students and other noncitizens who have been vocal in their opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Mohsen Mahdawi. In the face of mounting repression and outright abduction of our community members in broad daylight, we affirm that the movement for Palestine is going nowhere, and that the struggle for Palestinian liberation and for Gaza lies at the heart of the fight against rising fascism in the United States.

Free Mohsen. Free Mahmoud. Free Rumeysa. Free them all," said Palestinian Youth Movement on April 14, 2025.
