Trump administration officials accuse Georgetown University fellow Badar Khan Suri of being a mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda and having close ties to a suspected or known terrorist.
Trump administration officials accuse Georgetown University fellow Badar Khan Suri of being a mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda and having close ties to a suspected or known terrorist. But to his defenders, Khan Suri is an accomplished scholar whose research focuses on peacebuilding in the Middle East. Khan Suri’s attorney argues his client is being targeted in part because his wife is a Palestinian American. The research fellow’s nighttime arrest and detention this week marks yet another controversial immigration enforcement action by the Trump administration at one of the preeminent universities in the United States. Khan Suri’s legal team is challenging his detention in court, and on Thursday, a federal judge ruled he cannot be removed from the country while his petition is pending. Here’s what we know: Khan Suri, an Indian national in the US for doctoral research at Georgetown, was arrested Monday night after his J-1 visa was revoked, according to his attorneys and the university.
