Judge releases Georgetown scholar Badar Khan Suri to return to Virginia after ICE detention in Texas

  • A federal judge ordered the immediate release of Badar Khan Suri, an Indian postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown University, from detention in Texas on Wednesday, allowing him to return to Virginia.
  • Suri was detained after masked federal agents arrested him in March at his Virginia home and revoked his visa amid the Trump administration’s deportation effort citing alleged Hamas ties.
  • The government failed to provide evidence that Suri posed a threat, and his lawyers contend his detention was retaliation for his and his wife’s pro-Palestinian views and family connections in Gaza.
  • Judge Patricia Giles stated the detention violated Suri’s First Amendment rights and ordered his release on personal recognizance, requiring him to attend immigration hearings scheduled for June 3 in Texas.
  • Suri’s release marks another case among international scholars targeted over political activism and raises ongoing legal questions concerning free speech and immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
