Trump Administration Arrests Georgetown University Postdoctoral Fellow
HuffPost
A lawyer for Badar Khan Suri said his client has not been charged with any crime.
The Trump administration on Wednesday defended the detention of a Georgetown University postdoctoral fellow by immigration agents.
Badar Khan Suri, an Indian citizen who entered the U.S. on a J-1 student visa, was arrested by masked agents with the Department of Homeland Security outside his home in Arlington, Virginia, on Monday evening, according to a lawsuit obtained by Politico. The agents claimed his visa had been revoked.
The court papers filed by Hassan Ahmad, Suri’s attorney, allege that he has not been charged with any crime and has no criminal record, according to Politico, which was first to report the story.
Tricia McLaughlin, a Homeland Security spokesperson, accused Suri of having “close connections to a known or suspected terrorist, who is a senior advisor to Hamas,” without citing evidence to support the claim.
“Suri was a foreign exchange student at Georgetown University actively spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media,” McLaughlin wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
