A judge is slamming the brakes on the Trump administration's attempt to deport a pro-Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University's 2024 student encampment protests.

"This is a blatant example of how this administration uses antisemitism as a smoke screen to enact its plans to bully, blame and ban people, plans that have nothing to do with jews or our safety," Beran added.

A friend of mine who also graduated from SIPA | Columbia University who is a career official at the U.S. State Department (who was in Israel and the Palestinian Territories with me) texted me this morning and said - “I am lost and confused in this moment...and there’s nothing that I can do.”
