Suri was detained by masked Department of Homeland Security agents outside of his Arlington, Virginia, home. They told him that his visa was revoked under the same law that Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil was detained under: the Immigration and Nationality Act, which gives the Secretary of State the authority to deport someone if their presence has “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences.”
Saleh has been targeted on social media, in right-wing media outlets, and even the Embassy of Israel in the U.S. due to the fact that her father, Ahmed Yousef, was once an adviser to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh more than a decade ago.
Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson, said in an X post that Suri “was a foreign exchange student at Georgetown University actively spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media.”
Unlike in Khalil’s case, Suri’s university appears to be backing up the researcher, who also teaches classes at Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, part of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.
Columbia University, in contrast, appears to be giving the Trump administration whatever it wants in the hopes that $400 million in federal funding will be restored to the institution. What university officials fail to realize is that giving in to the administration’s demands won’t save the institution, and in fact will deal a serious blow to academic freedom and free speech, effectively silencing every foreign college student in America.
