Badar Khan Suri, an Indian postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown University, has been detained by the Donald Trump administration for allegedly spreading Hamas propaganda and antisemitism on social media. The Department of Homeland Security claims he poses a threat to US foreign policy and is seeking his deportation. His lawyer stated that Suri, arrested in Virginia, is currently held in Louisiana, awaiting an immigration court hearing. Georgetown University said it has not been informed of any illegal activity. The case follows Trump's broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices, including a similar arrest of a Columbia University student earlier this month.
