💨 Abstract

Georgetown scholar Badar Khan Suri's challenges to his arrest will be heard in Virginia, not Texas, as a federal judge denied the Trump administration's request to transfer the case. Suri, arrested for alleged social media posts and his wife's Palestinian ties, was moved from Virginia to Texas soon after arrest, making it difficult for his lawyers to defend him. Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles ruled that the government's swift transfers may have been an attempt to hinder his legal challenges.
