Second Circuit rules federal courts lack jurisdiction over specific immigration detention constitutionality

A federal appeals court has reversed a lower court's order for the release of Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student detained during naturalization proceedings. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals further ruled that federal courts lack jurisdiction to review the constitutionality of his immigration detention, despite allegations of retaliatory detention for protected speech. This ruling limits judicial oversight in immigration cases, though Mahdawi remains protected from immediate detention pending further litigation.
