💨 Abstract

A Georgetown University scholar, Badar Khan Suri, was detained and mistreated during an attempted deportation by the Trump administration. Suri, who advocates for Palestinians, was accused of spreading "Hamas propaganda." He faced harsh conditions, including being shackled and denied basic dignity. Suri's case gained community support, leading to his release on bond. His experience highlights broader issues of mistreatment of international students and activists under the Trump administration.
