A federal judge has ordered the release of Georgetown University scholar Badar Khan Suri from immigration detention, following similar rulings for other students. This decision highlights ongoing legal battles faced by temporary visa holders, particularly those who advocate for Palestinian rights, against the Trump administration's stance that questions the constitutional protections for such individuals. The case signals a larger debate on immigration policy and free speech as the university community rallies in support of those targeted for deportation.
The Trump administration has taken the broad position that those constitutional protections do not apply to temporary visa holders or even US permanent residents.
As with similar cases where visa holders have been targeted for deportation related to their pro-Palestine views and advocacy, lawyers for Suri argued ICE unlawfully detained him.
