The article discusses the case of Badar Khan Suri, a Georgetown professor facing deportation, as evaluated by a federal immigration judge. Suri was arrested by the Trump administration in March, amidst increasing scrutiny of international students and activists. His colleague Nader Hashemi visited him in an ICE jail in Texas and found Suri designated as a high-security prisoner. Hashemi conveys Suri's resolve that his suffering aims to highlight political authoritarianism and the ongoing tragedy in Gaza. Mary Bauer from ACLU emphasizes that Suri's arrest is politically motivated.
"Badar Khan Suri was very adamant that the suffering and the pain that he has faced and that his family has been subjected to will be worth it, if it helps expose..."
"Dr. Suri was picked up because he had spoken out for peace. He was arrested very clearly because of his political view and family association."
