US senator meets with detained Columbia protester

22 April 2025 17:09 BST

US Senator Peter Welch, who represents the state of Vermont where Columbia University protester Mohsen Madawi is currently being held in detention, was able to visit with him on Monday. 

Madawi is a green card holder originally from the West Bank. He was lured to his US citizenship test and then taken away by immigration agents in handcuffs for his pro-Palestine activism at Columbia. 

In a video shared by Welch, Madawi tells his supporters not to worry about him and to continue their fight for Gaza and Palestinian rights.
