Indian academic held over pro-Palestinian views released from Ice jail

A Georgetown academic, Badar Khan Suri, was released from ICE detention after a Virginia federal judge ruled on Wednesday that his detention targeting him for pro-Palestinian activism violated his constitutional rights. The 49-year-old mathematician, who had been detained for two months, faced legal challenges and faced deportation proceedings in Texas. Khan Suri expressed gratitude for finally being free despite the prolonged wait, while a large crowd outside the courthouse reportedly cheered at his release. His case continues as he awaits the outcome of his petition challenging his wrongful detention under the Trump administration.
