The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has labeled students involved in pro-Palestine protests as threats to U.S. foreign policy, prompting multiple arrests. This includes Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student detained for his activism, and Badar Khan Suri, a Georgetown University postdoctoral fellow, who was arrested outside his home. Suri's legal representatives argue that his detention is influenced by both his wife's Palestinian heritage and targeted smear campaigns from far-right groups. A federal judge has temporarily halted Suri's deportation as controversy surrounding these actions escalates.
"The Department of Homeland Security claims students involved in pro-Palestine protests present threats to U.S. foreign policy, leading to arrests and controversial scrutiny."
"DHS agents have arrested at least two students on visa grounds, claiming they pose threats to U.S. interests, linking their activism to foreign policy concerns."
