Buchwald is not the first Jewish federal judge to rule on the deportation efforts: Earlier this month, Judge Jesse Furman blocked the deportation of Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil, who was arrested inside his Columbia-owned apartment building, remains in detention.
This is courage. These judges are putting their lives on the line no matter how they rule but I suspect this is the most dangerous ruling, for their personal safety within the public. I do hope they will be safe.
