A Virginia federal judge, Patricia Giles, has ordered the release of Georgetown postdoctoral fellow Badar Khan Suri from ICE detention after two months of confinement. The ruling addresses concerns regarding the legality of his detention, linked to actions by the Trump administration targeting him over his pro-Palestinian activism. Judge Giles emphasized that the ruling was with no conditions or bond. Khan Suri, who is married to a Palestinian American, faced detention due to claims related to his social media posts and his father-in-law's past associations. His case drew widespread support from students and alumni at Georgetown University.
