A researcher at Georgetown University was detained by federal immigration agents on Monday night.
Badar Khan Suri is a postdoctoral fellow at the university’s School of Service and teaches a course on “Majoritarianism and Minority Rights in South Asia” at the school’s Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. He was granted a visa to legally continue his studies in the U.S., the university told WTOP in a statement.
Khan Suri is an Indian national and completed his doctorate in New Delhi in 2020, according to his staff bio.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a post on X that Suri was “actively spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media.”
She added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio “issued a determination on March 15, 2025 that Suri’s activities and presence in the United States rendered him deportable.”
