As the Trump administration tightens down on permits for individuals who have expressed anti-Israel attitude, Badar Khan Suri is the most recent foreign student to be detained by ICE. Suri is married to a Arab person, and she is from India. His case comes after Khalil, a Palestinian national, was detained because of his involvement in several anti-Israel protests where Hamas advertising was distributed. Khalil’s green card was voided.
Suri, a foreign trade scholar at Georgetown University, was a person who actively promoted hatred and propagandized Hamas propaganda on social media. According to Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin,” Suri has close ties to a known or suspected criminal, who is a top consultant to Hamas.” McLaughlin confirmed that Suri’s “father-in-law is a Hamas social advisor” in a later article.
According to McLaughlin,” The Secretary of State determined on March 15, 2025, that Suri’s activities and presence in the United States made him deportable under INA section 237( a )( 4 )( C)( i),”
This definition of” an alien whose appearance or hobbies in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable grounds to believe would have potentially serious negative foreign policy implications for the United States is deportable” is referred to in this script.
ICE agents entered Suri’s Arlington, Virginia, residence without giving a damn about Georgetown University. Additionally, Suri was a professor at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service’s Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.
JOHN KENNEDY SUPPORTS MAHMOUD KHALIL’S Repatriation: HE “HATES AMERICA.”
We have not been given a cause for his confinement, and we are not aware of his engaging in any unlawful action. Even if the main ideas may be challenging, controversial, or objectionable, Georgetown said,” we support our group members ‘ rights to free and available inquiry, deliberation, and debate.” We anticipate that the court system will properly decide this event.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended detention of some card holders, reminding them that they are “visitors” and “don’t had a right to be in the United States.” Rubio reaffirmed that permits would not be granted to someone who is open to sharing their opinions that conflict with American foreign policy objectives.
