Summary
Georgetown researcher Badar Khan Suri was released from a Texas detention center after a federal judge ruled his detention violated his rights to free speech and due process. Arrested by immigration agents on March 17 for alleged ties to Hamas due to his advocacy for Palestinian rights, Suri’s case highlights the Trump administration’s crackdown on activists. His release follows similar cases, including that of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, amidst increasing scrutiny of pro-Palestinian advocates by U.S. immigration officials.
