Detained Georgetown student released. A federal judge ordered on May 14 that a Georgetown scholar from India be released from immigration detention after he was detained in the Trump administration’s crackdown on foreign college students. Khan Suri was arrested by masked officers late March 17 outside his apartment in Arlington, Virginia. Officials said his visa was revoked because of his social media posts and his wife’s connection to Gaza as a Palestinian American, and they accused him of supporting Hamas. U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles said she was releasing Mr. Suri because he had substantial constitutional claims against the Trump administration.
