A federal judge in California has ruled that a pro-Palestinian student and permanent U.S. resident, who was detained by immigration authorities, cannot be held in custody.

The ruling highlights concerns over the targeting of individuals based on their political expressions, particularly those supporting Palestinian causes, and underscores the ongoing debate about the balance between national security and civil liberties.
