A lawyer for anti-war activist Mahmoud Khalil, currently being held by ICE, says she was barred from using a computer in a key hearing—an example, experts say, of the unfairness of immigration court.

Nevertheless, in a sworn declaration, Ahmed says that minutes before the hearing began she was informed by the detention center staff that, on Comans' instructions, she was forbidden from bringing her devices inside, forcing her to turn over her laptop to the faculty and enter the courtroom empty-handed.
