The detention is part of broader national security measures, with officials claiming that Suri’s activities pose a potential threat to U.S. foreign policy. Authorities expect further legal proceedings as the case develops.

Indian Student’s Detention and Deportation Case
Badar Khan Suri’s lawyer stated that federal authorities are currently holding his client in a detention facility in Alexandria, Louisiana, as he awaits a court date in immigration court. The lawyer further revealed that federal agents arrested Suri outside his residence in Rosslyn, Virginia, on Monday night. Agents from the Department of Homeland Security reportedly carried out the arrest as part of an ongoing investigation into Suri’s alleged involvement in promoting Hamas propaganda and antisemitic content online. The case has drawn significant attention, raising questions about the nature of the evidence against Suri and the legal process he will face in the coming weeks.
The statement, reposted by White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, did not cite evidence for its allegations against the Indian student. It also said Secretary of State Marco Rubio determined that Suri’s activities “rendered him deportable.” The Georgetown University student is also accused of spreading “antisemitism” on social media.
A university spokesperson said the institution has not received a reason for Suri’s detention and was unaware of his engagement in alleged illegal activities.
