Shahab Dehghani, a 24-year-old economics student at Northeastern University, arrived in Boston with a valid student visa but was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol at Logan International Airport.

“He’s understandably upset,” said Heather Yountz, a lawyer also involved in Dehghani’s case. “He’s been a student here in Massachusetts for two years. His life has now been turned around.”

But Judge Richard Stearns on Tuesday said the case was moot and out of his jurisdiction because Dehghani ended up flying out of the U.S. that night.She also challenged federal prosecutors who argued Dehghani was removed from the country before the emergency order was issued. Doyle argued he was still at the airport at the time the judge issued the temporary stay, suggesting customs officials violated the order.

Since August, at least 10 students have been sent back to Iran upon arrival at U.S. airports. Seven had flown into Logan, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, which is also assisting Dehghani.
