BREAKING: Judge Orders Release of Georgetown Scholar Badar Khan Suri From ICE Detention A federal judge in Virginia has ordered the immediate release of Dr. Badar Khan Suri, a Georgetown postdoctoral scholar, after nearly two months in immigration detention. The ruling marks another legal defeat for the Trump administration’s crackdown on international scholars and students advocating for Palestinian rights. Key Details: ➤ Suri, an Indian citizen and peace studies scholar, was arrested by masked ICE agents on March 17 outside his home in Virginia. He was transferred through five detention centers in four days—across Virginia, Louisiana, and Texas—without access to legal counsel. ➤ DHS accused him of threatening U.S. foreign policy interests, citing his pro-Palestinian speech and his wife’s father’s past ties to Palestinian resistance groups. ➤ U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles ruled the transfers appeared to be an effort to “manipulate jurisdiction” and found that Suri’s detention raised serious First Amendment concerns. The court said his release was “in the public interest to disrupt the chilling effect on protected speech.” ➤ “He is a scholar who loves books and teaching,” said Suri’s wife, Mapheze Saleh, a Palestinian-American graduate student. “Our three children have been without their father for nearly two months.” Suri is expected to return home to Virginia and reunite with his family while he contests deportation. Video below is from the press conference following Suri’s release, where his wife, Mapheze Saleh, spoke along with representatives from his legal team.
