An Indian researcher at Georgetown University, Badar Khan Suri, has been detained and faces deportation in the US under accusations of promoting Hamas propaganda and antisemitism. The Trump administration has been increasing scrutiny on campus activists involved in anti-Semitic activities. Suri, who is a postdoctoral associate, was studying under a student visa and was researching peacebuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan. Georgetown University has expressed support for Suri and expects the legal system to adjudicate the case fairly. This incident follows the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student, who was detained by ICE agents for his involvement in pro-Palestinian campus demonstrations.
