Another Legal Resident Faces Deportation for Vague Allegations That They Support Terrorists
Yet another legal U.S. resident is facing deportation for nebulous claims that they have expressed support for terrorism.
A Georgetown University postdoctoral student was arrested by immigration officials and sent to a detention facility in Louisiana—all because of his wife’s “identity as a Palestinian and her constitutionally protected speech,” according to a legal document obtained by the Associated Press.
Badar Khan Suri is an Indian citizen studying as a postdoctoral fellow at the Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. He was arrested by Homeland Security agents outside his home in Virginia on Monday night, according to the A.P.
“Suri was a foreign exchange student at Georgetown University actively spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media,” Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Wednesday post on X. “Suri has close connections to a known or suspected terrorist, who is a senior advisor to Hamas. The Secretary of State issued a determination on March 15, 2025 that Suri’s activities and presence in the United States rendered him deportable.”
