A US appeals court has ruled in favor of Georgetown scholar Badar Khan Suri, allowing him to remain free amidst ongoing deportation efforts after previously being detained by ICE. This decision follows a series of legal challenges wherein the Fourth Circuit rebuffed requests from the Trump administration to re-detain Suri. In a related case, another pro-Palestinian Georgetown student also received a favorable ruling allowing him to maintain his freedom. Suri has reflected on the experience of parenting while detained, raising concerns among lawmakers who are demanding answers regarding his treatment and the implications of his detention. The court has also blocked the deportation of Suri, who faced accusations of antisemitism, highlighting the contentious nature of immigration policy and its impact on scholars.
