Imran Ahmed faces “the imminent prospect of unconstitutional arrest, punitive detention and deportation” from the United States, the court said. PHOTO: ALAN TURING INSTITUTE A US judge on Thursday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from arresting British anti-disinformation activist and US resident Imran Ahmed after he sued officials over an entry ban over his role in what Washington says is online censorship. Washington imposed a visa ban on Ahmed and four Europeans, including French former EU commissioner Thierry Breton, on Tuesday. He accuses them of working to censor free speech or of unfairly targeting US tech giants with heavy regulation.
