Federal judges will hear arguments on the case of Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia student activist who was arrested at his US citizenship hearing in April. As he told our friends at @revealnews.org months ago, he believes he was detained "to intimidate other students, to make an example of me."

Today, before federal judges, the Trump administration will argue why Mohsen Mahdawi, a student activist who temporarily won his freedom against ICE, should be locked up once again. As he told us in June, his arrest is a clear attempt by the administration "to intimidate other students."

We’re in court today fighting for Mohsen Mahdawi and Rümeysa Öztürk. Mohsen and Rümeysa were released from ICE detention on bail after they were detained by the Trump administration in retaliation for their speech in support of Palestinian human rights. The First Amendment protects all of us.

Cory Booker just lit up the Senate floor with a marathon protest speech against Trump’s actions, vowing to speak “as long as I am physically able.” This isn’t a filibuster—it’s a righteous stand for democracy in a time of crisis. Keep going, Senator. 🔥🔥🔥 Watch here www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

Trans women transferred to men’s prisons despite rulings against Trump’s order. Incarcerated trans women report being groped by male guards and suicidal thoughts: ‘I’m punished for existing.’ 💔😭🤬 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity." A sad day for this nation.
