Judges recently rejected deportation cases against two pro-Palestinian college students, while Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is set to testify in a landmark social media trial in Los Angeles. Additionally, the Vatican declined to join former President Donald Trump's newly formed Board of Peace, and a New York City Board of Elections worker stated it was not their job to report non-citizen registrations. Finally, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is scheduled to host a fundraiser for House Democrats in Los Angeles next month.
An immigration court terminated deportation proceedings against Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia University student, after Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed he posed a foreign policy threat, according to a letter filed in court. The judge found that the Department of Homeland Security "did not meet its burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence" that Mahdawi was removable, ABC News reported. This marks the second time in just over a week that attorneys have announced the termination of deportation proceedings against a pro-Palestinian student.
In Los Angeles, Mark Zuckerberg will testify in an unprecedented social media trial that questions whether Meta's platforms deliberately addict and harm children, as reported by ABC News. Zuckerberg is expected to answer tough questions on Wednesday from attorneys representing a 20-year-old woman identified as KGM, who claims her early social media use exacerbated her depression and suicidal thoughts. Meta Platforms and Google's YouTube are the remaining defendants in the case.
The Vatican announced it would not join former President Donald Trump's newly formed Board of Peace, signaling reluctance from the Holy See to participate in the post-war initiative, according to Fox News. Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin stated the Holy See "will not participate in the Board of Peace because of its particular nature, which is evidently not that of other States," the Vatican's official news outlet reported. The Board of Peace, chartered in January, includes nearly 20 countries.
A New York City Board of Elections worker said it was not his job to report anyone when asked about processing registrations for non-citizens, according to undercover video footage obtained by Muckraker and reported by Fox News. The worker stated he would process applications for non-citizens. When the reporter claimed to be a green card holder, the worker said they needed to be a citizen.
Finally, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel will headline an upcoming fundraiser to benefit House Democrats, according to New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer, as reported by Fox News. The event will take place in Los Angeles on March 10 and will also feature House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Ticket prices range from $25,000 to over $300,000.
