Georgetown Researcher Freed From Immigration Detention | JQJO

Georgetown University researcher Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national, has been released from immigration detention in Texas after a federal judge ruled the government failed to justify his detention. Suri, who was never charged with a crime, was detained for two months following the revocation of his visa. The government alleged he spread Hamas propaganda and promoted antisemitism, claims his lawyers deny, suggesting retaliation for his family's support of Palestinians. Suri's release follows a similar case involving a Tufts University student, highlighting concerns about the Trump administration's targeting of scholars.
