Palestinian activist
Mohsen Mahdawi, who she had known for around seven years until his
arrest in April 2025. Earlier in the month, Mahdawi had received an email from
USCIS stating that he had an interview scheduled to obtain his US citizenship. Because the ordinary timeline for the interview would have placed it in December or January, Mahdawi suspected it might be a trap and contacted White, who cautioned Mahdawi against going. He also included White in a
Signal group chat titled “Just in case — Mohsen” to communicate with his close friends if he was arrested. She later condemned his arrest, stating, “I had told constituents, ‘You are safe here.’ And I can no longer say that.” ==References==
