BURLINGTON, Vt. A federal judge on Wednesday issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from transferring a Palestinian student detained in Vermont. The student, who attends Columbia University, was taken into custody during his naturalization interview earlier this week.
The judge's decision means the student cannot be moved out of Vermont while the court considers his case. The details surrounding his arrest and the reasons for his detention remain under investigation. Advocates for the student argue that his detention is unjust and are seeking his immediate release. Government officials have not yet released a statement regarding the judge's order. The case highlights ongoing debates surrounding immigration enforcement and the rights of individuals seeking naturalization in the United States.
