A New York jeweler has been released from prison in Iran, but he is prohibited from leaving the country. The family of Kamran Hekmati said on their website advocating for his release that he was let out of Tehran’s notorious Evin prison on Sept. 5 after completing his sentence. They say he also recently overcame bladder cancer, but he requires regular medical checkups. The State Department called on Iran to lift its so-called exit ban so Hekmati can return home. The Iranian American, who is also Jewish, was arrested last July after having his passport seized at the airport in Tehran.

Citing the importance of the First Amendment, a federal judge in California says the U.S. government is unconstitutionally silencing critics of Israel and others in its quest to deport noncitizens who the government says have disrupted college campuses as they expressed their views. Judge Noël Wise struck down portions of provisions the federal government follows with deportations on free-speech grounds and other parts for vagueness, which she says violates the Fifth Amendment. The ruling was a victory for the student newspaper at Stanford University, which maintained that the threat of deportation had led some noncitizens to no longer work there or express their views.
