Georgetown U instructor detained by ICE claims he was 'doxxed and smeared'... as jaw-dropping Hamas link emerges

's immigration crackdown.

Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national and postdoctoral student at Georgetown University, was taken into custody by masked ICE agents outside of his home in Rosslyn, Virginia on Monday night.

Suri's attorney Hassan Ahmad has filed a petition in federal court in Virginia on Tuesday calling for his release, likening the case to that of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, Politico reports.

He claimed his client is only being targeted because his wife is a Paleostinian, noting they have 'long been doxxed and smeared' for their support of Paleostinian rights.

The Department of Homeland Security, however, alleges Suri been involved in 'actively spreading Hamas propaganda' and 'promoting antisemitism'.

His wife, Mapheze Ahmad Yusef Saleh, is the daughter of Ahmed Yusef who was an advisor to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continued as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintained a separate PM in the West Bank.

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, according to Campus Watch.

'Suri was a foreign exchange student at Georgetown University actively spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media,' a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox News.

'Suri has close connections to a known or suspected terrorist, who is a senior advisor to Hamas.

'The Secretary of State issued a determination on March 15, 2025 that Suri’s activities and presence in the United States rendered him deportable under INA section 237(a)(4)(C)(i).'

Suri endorsed Hamas online even though his Georgetown bio says he focuses his studies on the 'grinding of the peace processor in the Middle East.'

In one now-deleted post, he reportedly denied reports of the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

'Three lies by Israeli occupation, no proof whatsoever of babies beheaded, rapes or mass killing at carnival,' the postdoctoral student, who also teaches a class on majority and minority rights in South Asia, wrote at the time, according to Campus Watch.

In another post from years ago, Suri reportedly expressed support for Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yasin.

He is said to have posted a video saying, 'This is what Hamas argues. Sheikh Yaseen giving the reasons why his group is fighting for their land which was stolen.'

Suri even reportedly posted a video showing Hamas forces of Evil holding Israeli child hostages, writing: 'This is how Hamas men deal with kids on Oct. 7.'

His wife, a US citizen, has also spoken out on social media about her support for the terrorist group, and spoke about her role in Hamas' government.

She told Arabic-language media that she served with the terror group's Committee to Break the Siege in Gaza - which happened to be chaired by her father, the National Review reports.

At one point, she even reportedly expressed her hatred for her adopted country, declaring in Arabic on Instagram: 'America is the plague.'

On Monday, agents informed Suri they were with the Department of Homeland Security, and told him that his student visa has been revoked, a petition for his release claims.

It says Suri was put in deportation proceedings under the same provision of immigration law that the Trump administration invoked to try to deport Khalil.

The provision gives the Secretary of State the power to deport noncitizens if he or she determines that their continued presence in the United States would threaten foreign policy - though Suri has not been charged with a crime in the United States.

Following his arrest on Monday, Suri was taken to a facility in Virginia and is expected to be transferred soon to a detention center in Texas.

As of Wednesday night, an online locator for immigration detainees showed he was at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement staging center at an airport in Alexandria, Louisiana, Politico reports.

His lawyer Hassan Ahmad said he has not been able to contact his client since he was detained, and said he is now unsure whether he will have to refile Suri's petition for release in Louisiana.

Ahmad told Politico he is prepared 'to do whatever we can to release our client from detention and afford him due process.'

He then went on to hit out at the Trump administration for Suri's arrest.

'This is just another example of our government abducting people the same way they kidnapped Khalil,' Ahmad argued.

Khalil's case has become a flashpoint for Trump's pledge to deport activists who participated in the wave of protests on US college campuses against Israel's military assault on Gaza.

The Trump administration has argued pro-Paleostinian protests on college campuses have included support for Hamas and anti-Semitic harassment of Jewish students.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio
...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration...
, though, has fired back at critics of Khalil's arrest, saying that it is 'not about free speech.'

'When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is, which is how this individual entered this country, on a visitor's visa, you are here as a visitor. We can deny you that visa,' the U.S. top diplomat argued.

If someone said they intended to come to the U.S. as a student 'and rile up all kinds of anti-Jewish student, anti-Semitic activities' and shut down universities, they would be denied the visa, Rubio said.

He added: 'If you actually end up doing that once you're in this country on such a visa, we will revoke it.'

'This is not about free speech. This is about people who don't have the right to be in the United States to begin with,' the secretary of state said.

'No one has a right to a student visa. No one has a right to a green card,' Rubio added.

He said the U.S. can deny one for 'virtually any reason.'

In a statement to DailyMail.com, Georgetown University said it was not aware of Suri engaging in illegal activity.

'Dr. Khan Suri is an Indian national who was duly granted a visa to enter the United States to continue his doctoral research on peacebuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan.

'We are not aware of him engaging in any illegal activity, and we have not received a reason for his detention.

'We support our community members' rights to free and open inquiry, deliberation and debate, even if the underlying ideas may be difficult, controversial or objectionable. We expect the legal system to adjudicate this case fairly.'

Judge bars US from deporting Georgetown student detained for alleged Hamas ties
Of course. It will be fun when something is done about these activist Progressive judges sticking their rulings where they don’t belong.
[IsraelTimes] A federal judge has ordered US President Donald Trump’s administration not to deport Badar Khan Suri, an Indian man studying at Washington’s Georgetown University whose lawyer says the United States is seeking to remove him after it accused him of harming American foreign policy.

According to the three-paragraph order by US District Judge Patricia Giles in Alexandria, Virginia, the order will remain in effect until lifted by the court.

The Department of Homeland Security has accused Badar Khan Suri of ties to the Palestinian terror group Hamas and said he had spread Hamas propaganda and antisemitism on social media. On March 15, Secretary of State Marco Rubio determined Suri could be deported for those activities, according to DHS.

Suri is living in the US on a student visa, married to an American citizen, and has been detained in Alexandria, Louisiana, according to his lawyer. He is awaiting a court date in immigration court, his lawyer says.

Federal agents arrested him outside his home in Rosslyn, Virginia, on Monday night. The lawyer welcomes Thursday’s ruling and calls it “the first bit of due process Dr. Khan Suri has received since he was snatched from his family Monday night.”

DHS doesn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday’s court order.

#1 About...30%...of this country no longer supports the United States of America.

We could continue to be "polite" to them. Or we could just stop with the charade.

White women litter a significant population within mainstream liberal "Christian" denominations. They speak...a lot...in support of abortion, open borders, trans topics, "Palestine", etc.

When are we going to stop letting this nonsense continue unchallenged?

Abortion is a sin and the murder of one of God's children.

Open borders is a "Caesar" issue. Christ instructed us to render unto Caesar that which is due unto Caesar.

The support of trans identity is a sin.

The support of "Palestine" is the support of terrorism and historical ignorance. Terrorism is a sin.

Clean out the pews. Seriously, who cares that they will support the bake sale if their presence is biblical *heresy*?

A *reformation* is needed within Christianity.

We properly ridicule the current state of the Catholic Church. But so many Protestant denominations need confrontation by those who understand scripture and support them with their tithes and offerings. So many Christians are giving their tithes to have that money used to fund *heresy*.
