A Georgetown University postdoctoral scholar has been ordered released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in the most recent loss for the Trump administration its its crackdown on international students and faculty.
Federal Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles ordered for Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national, to be released on bond on Wednesday, almost two months after ICE arrested him on March 17.
Khan Suri was arrested in Arlington, Va., before he was transferred to Texas to be held in ICE detention. He will be allowed to return to Virginia with his wife, a Palestinian American, and three kids while his case against the constitutionality of his arrest continues.
The Trump administration argues he is a threat to the country’s foreign policy due to alleged ties to Hamas, although it has not provided additional details for those allegations.

What a fucking joke. 2 entire months. The courts really are dragging their feet on this bullshit.
Glad he’s out though.
I’m really worried about that Russian researcher from Harvard
