SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 26 – At 7 pm on Christmas Eve, lawyers for Imran Ahmed filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which Inner City Press closely covers, even on holidays.
The lawsuit seeks to enjoin the US from expelling or sanctioning Imran Ahmed for his work at the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
As of December 26 it has yet to be assigned to a District Judge. But Judge Vernon S. Broderick, the Part 1 Judge for the week, reported signed the Temporary Restraining Order early on Christmas Day and set a hearing for sometime on Monday, December 29.
As of noon on December 26, Judge Broderick's Order was not public in PACER. Apparently, Imran Ahmed's lawyers distributed the order to some media (it is not on the law firm's website). We aim to have more on this.
The case is Ahmed v. Rubio, et al., 1:25-cv-10705 (Unassigned)
