Badar Khan Suri, a postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown University, was detained by the Department of Homeland Security amid allegations of supporting Hamas and promoting antisemitism. His family's ties to Hamas and social media activity critiquing the Gaza war have led to accusations that he poses an adverse foreign policy risk. Immigration experts argue that targeting Suri could set a dangerous precedent for curtailing academic freedom and due process for international scholars. Uncharged and without evidence presented, Suri's case exemplifies the complexities interwoven in U.S. immigration policies during politically charged times.
The targeting of Badar Khan Suri highlights concerns over the detention of international scholars, especially those criticizing U.S. policies related to the Gaza conflict.
Suri's prolonged detention, coupled with the lack of formal charges, raises questions about due process and the implications for academic freedom in the U.S.
