Badar Khan Suri, a postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown University, was released from an immigration detention center following a federal judge's ruling that criticized the government's lack of evidence for his detention. Suri, an Indian national, is also contesting his deportation related to allegations of promoting propaganda. His case highlights concerns over the detention of scholars and potential retaliatory actions against those supporting Palestinian causes. Amidst other recent similar cases, Suri's legal troubles continue as he prepares for his next court hearing in June.
On his way out of the detention center in Texas, Suri said, 'There was no charge, there was nothing. They made a sub human out of me.'
Judge Patricia Giles stated that the government failed to demonstrate that Suri was a threat to U.S. interests, emphasizing their lack of evidence for his detention.
