The administration accused the Georgetown University academic, Dr. Badar Khan Suri, of " spreading Hamas propaganda."

A federal district court judge in Virginia ordered the release of Georgetown University scholar Badar Khan Suri on Wednesday, marking at least the third time a detained student or academic targeted by the Trump administration because of their protest activity or affiliation is released from immigration detention.

Badar Khan Suri, the postdoctoral scholar and professor at Georgetown University who was arrested and targeted for deportation by the Trump administration, has been released.
