Georgetown University Researcher Badar Khan Suri Detained Amid Immigration Crackdown

Badar Khan Suri, an Indian researcher at Georgetown University, has been detained by U.S. immigration authorities amid a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism and alleged ties to Hamas. The Trump administration is seeking to deport Suri, who faces accusations of spreading Hamas propaganda and antisemitism on social media. His detention is part of a controversial pattern of immigration enforcement targeting foreign students and academics who oppose U.S. foreign policy regarding Israel. Critics are concerned about the implications for free speech on college campuses as federal agents increasingly intervene in cases involving international students.
