US judge orders release of Badar Khan Suri from immigration custody

Release Date: 2025-05-14
Media: ALJAZEERA
Summary: Suri, an Indian national on a U.S. student visa, was detained by ICE agents in March outside his Virginia home. His lawyers argued the detention violated his constitutional rights, as it was based on protected speech. The court found that government accusations made on social media were not supported by evidence in court.

Suri's wife, Mapheze Saleh, a Palestinian American, thanked supporters and said her husband viewed his suffering as a "badge of honor" for standing up against the war in Gaza.

The case is part of a broader pattern where international students, such as Columbia’s Mohsen Mahdawi and Tufts’ Rumeysa Ozturk, have faced detention or deportation tied to pro-Palestinian advocacy. The Trump administration has relied on a 1952 immigration law and argued that visa holders do not enjoy full constitutional protections, a stance likely to face Supreme Court scrutiny.

Suri remains subject to ongoing legal proceedings, but his release marks another legal win for immigrant rights advocates.
