New York, March 21: A federal judge has blocked the deportation of Indian academic Badar Khan Suri who was detained by US immigration authorities after his student visa was revoked.

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin accused him of disseminating 슬롯사이트Hamas propaganda and promoting anti-Semitism on social media슬롯사이트�. She said that he 슬롯사이트has close connections to a known or suspected terrorist, who is a senior advisor to Hamas슬롯사이트� -- a reference to his wife슬롯사이트s father, Ahmed Yousef.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Badar Khan Suri Arrested in US: Indian Student at Georgetown University Faces Deportation After ICE Detains Him Over Alleged Hamas Ties.

But his lawyer wrote in his court filing that he was being targeted for deportation because he is married to a Palestinian-American based solely on his 슬롯사이트family ties to those who may have either expressed criticism of US foreign policy as it relates to Israel슬롯사이트�. A Georgetown University statement said, 슬롯사이트We are not aware of him engaging in any illegal activity, and we have not received a reason for his detention슬롯사이트�.

According to a university website, Suri's wife Mapheze Saleh, who is studying for a master슬롯사이트s in Arab Studies, has worked for 슬롯사이트the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Gaza슬롯사이트� and has written for Middle East Monitor, Qatar government TV network Al Jazeera, and Palestinian media. Suri is the second Indian to be swept up in President Donald Trump슬롯사이트s campaign against pro-Palestine protests that engulfed several universities across the US. In some cases, the protests veered into anti-Semitism and support for Hamas.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Who Is Badar Khan Suri, Indian Researcher Facing Deportation After Getting Detained in US for Hamas Support?.

Ranjani Srinivasan, a PhD student at Columbia University in New York, fled to Canada earlier this month, effectively self-deporting herself after immigration officers said her student visa was cancelled and went looking for her. Suri슬롯사이트s lawyer said in his filing that on Monday Homeland Security agents, who had their faces covered, stopped him outside his residence in a Washington suburb and took him away.

He was taken to a detention centre in Farmville, Virginia, before being sent to Louisiana. His lawyers want him moved to a facility closer to his home while the case proceeds. Mapheze Saleh, who is a US citizen, holds a master슬롯사이트s degree from Jamia Milia University and worked at the Qatar Embassy in New Delhi, according to Georgetown University.
