A legal battle over the arrest of a Palestinian activist and Columbia University student is set to play out in federal court, as the US government proposes the next steps in the case. The arrest came as part of President Trump's policy against pro-Palestinian foreign students. The legal battle centers on free speech and the legality of detention. US District Judge Jesse Furman temporarily blocked authorities from deporting the activist and scheduled a hearing for Wednesday.
