Georgetown University graduate student Badar Khan Suri from India was detained by federal immigration authorities while teaching on a student visa. He was arrested outside his home by agents who claimed his visa had been revoked. Suri’s lawyer called his detention “beyond contemptible,” stating he had done nothing wrong. Georgetown University confirmed they were not aware of any misconduct by Suri. He is being held in Louisiana awaiting an immigration hearing. Suri’s detainment comes amidst the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, who participated in protests. Suri is a postdoctoral fellow focused on conflict resolution and peace studies, having completed his Ph.D. in peace and conflict studies in 2020. Georgetown University is supporting Suri and expects the legal system to handle his case fairly. Suri’s attorney has filed a petition to determine the lawfulness of his detainment.
