A US judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing the deportation of Imran Ahmed, a British anti-disinformation campaigner and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). Ahmed, who lives in Washington DC with his American family, filed a complaint against senior Trump administration officials, arguing that the targeted actions against him and four other Europeans are unconstitutional. These individuals have been accused of pressuring tech companies to suppress American viewpoints, leading to accusations of censorship. Ahmed’s work against hate speech and misinformation has drawn ire from figures like Elon Musk, who has criticized and attempted to sue the CCDH. The situation reflects ongoing tensions between US policy and European regulations on digital content. Ahmed’s legal counsel labeled the state’s actions as unjustified and unconstitutional.
