ICE detains ex-Yale student and refugee in spite of order granting bond and release
An Afghan refugee and former Yale University student continued to be detained by federal immigration authorities on Thursday evening more than two days after an immigration judge issued an order releasing him on bond. Federal immigration authorities did not respond by Thursday evening to multiple requests for an explanation of the continued detention. Saifullah J. Khan, who was born in a Pakistani refugee camp after his family was forced from Afghanistan by the Taliban, has had an asylum application pending for 9 years. He was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who hit him with Tasers seven times on May 9 as he and his wife left an immigration hearing in the secure Hartford federal building. Khan required medical attention after his arrest. according to statements made in court. In late March, after years of what Khan's lawyers characterized as 'inaction on his asylum application,' he sued in an effort to compel U.S. immigration officials to settles the question. The suit names senior Trump administration figures, including Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Within weeks of naming Noem and the others, Khan received a notice that ICE had begun proceedings to deport him and he was ordered to appear at the hearing after which he was hit with the Tasers and taken into custody, according to the court filing. A witness has said Khan was confronted by plain clothes ICE agents who did not identify themselves and was trying to return to Hartford Immigration Judge Theodore Doolittle's courtroom when he was taken into custody. After his arrest, Khan was held at a detention center in Plymouth, Mass. The order releasing him on $7,500 bond was issued early on May 27. Before his family could post bond, he was transferred to a privately run ICE processing center in Pennsylvania. It was unclear on what grounds immigration authorities continue to hold Khan in custody. Lawyers who follow immigration matters said enforcement officers have claimed in other cases to have the authority to temporarily hold bond orders in abeyance. A prosecutor with the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration matters, argued against bond, called him a danger to society and a flight risk. Khan, 32, is married to a U.S. Citizen and has lived in New Haven for more than a decade. He entered the U.S. on a scholarship from Yale in 2012 and applied for asylum in 2016 when he lost his student visa. The prosecutor called him a flight risk because she said the department had been unable to locate him for seven years preceding his arrest on May 9. According to statements made in court, immigration officials had Khan's address and regularly mailed him notices, including the order to appear in court in Hartford on the day he was arrested. Khan has no criminal record, but was accused by a Yale classmate of sexually assaulting her after a date in 2015. He was acquitted of all charges after a trial in criminal court. When Yale expelled him in spite of the acquittal after an in-house disciplinary hearing, he sued the school for defamation and related rights violations. The Supreme Court said the Yale disciplinary process 'lacked a significant number of procedural safeguards … that in judicial proceedings ensure reliability and promote fundamental fairness.' It said Kahn effectively was denied the right to defend himself because the Yale process did not require sworn testimony. The court said he also was denied the right to counsel, the right to cross examine witnesses and the right to call witnesses in his defense. Yale has tried but so far failed to dismiss the defamation case.

The Anti-Press Playbook, in Charts
Last fall, I created a scorecard for the journalism class I teach at Yale. It listed five strategies that authoritarian-leaning leaders have used to crush the free press in their countries. I flashed the scorecard on a screen. 'Take a picture,' I suggested to the students, 'and keep track of which of those strategies might migrate to the United States.' I had culled the five strategies from a Washington Post essay, 'How the quiet war against press freedom could come to America,' by New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger. His piece focused on leaders in democracies like Hungary and India who have weaponized existing laws and norms to cripple the news media, deploying an arsenal that includes normalizing harassment of journalists, abusing regulatory authority, and exploiting the courts with frivolous lawsuits. Sulzberger's piece was intended to be a warning. The Trump administration apparently read it as a playbook. Like my students, I've been keeping score too. I've been around for a while — my first Trump-adjacent article was about the 'new' USFL (Google it!) — so I'm not surprised by much. But honestly, it is astonishing how quickly the scorecard has filled out. And it's growing longer by the day. By my latest count — and it is likely incomplete — there have been more than 100 actions that threaten American press freedom, most taken since the November election or shortly before. And that doesn't count recent headlines about Paramount allegedly offering Trump $15 million to settle a lawsuit over routine editing of a CBS 60 Minutes interview, in hopes of getting its Skydance merger approved. The suit is so widely considered frivolous that some execs fear settling it may lead to criminal charges of bribery. All of these measures have been reported individually. But the visual list is a gut punch — and a wake-up call. Here's the original scorecard: And for those playing along at home, here's where the scorecard stands today: Mainstream media, for the most part, has remained steadfast in the face of the onslaught. Reporting from major outlets, such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and ProPublica, remains robust, as does that from smaller news organizations and independent journalists, like those writing on Substack. And to be clear, there are valid criticisms of the news media. Trust in the press has been declining for about half a century, long before the current moment, for a variety of reasons, including some that were self-inflicted. But what's happening now is an order of magnitude greater than anything we have seen before. And it's taking a toll — from threatening journalists' safety to prompting self-censorship among news organizations for fear of reprisals for factual reporting. Already, executives at news organizations from CBS and WNET to The New York Post have allegedly pressured newsrooms to tone down or even kill some coverage of the Trump administration. I'm a firm believer in the notion, which I realize some colleagues think is outdated, that the role of the news media isn't to be the resistance. It is to hold power to account and to seek the truth, regardless of who is in power. If this scorecard shows us anything, it illustrates that the watchdog role is more important than ever, and how crucial it is for journalists, and all of us, to hold the line. As Sulzberger rightly pointed out in a recently updated speech on the topic, 'Fear is contagious. But courage is also contagious.' This was originally published on Joanne Lipman's Substack. Journalist, mom, and bestselling author of That's What She Said and NEXT! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work, Joanne Lipman is the former editor in chief of USA Today, USA Today Network, Conde Nast Portfolio, and The Wall Street Journal's Weekend Journal. She's now a Yale journalism lecturer and on-air CNBC contributor. The post The Anti-Press Playbook, in Charts appeared first on Katie Couric Media.
