What is the reason for taking a student into custody?
The Trump administration has taken Indian student Badar Khan Suri into custody in the US. Suri has been detained due to alleged relations with a terrorist group Hamas. Suri was detained by federal agents outside her house in Rassalin, Virginia. The student’s counsel said that the Donald Trump administration is trying to deport her. Because they are seen as a threat to US foreign policy.
Badar Khan Suri’s lawyer said that he has been detained in Alexandria, Louisiana and is waiting for the date of hearing in the immigration court. He also informed that Suri was detained by federal agents outside his house in Rassalin, Virginia on Monday night. No evidence was given for the allegations against the Indian student in a re -posted statement by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. It also said that Foreign Minister Marco Rubio has determined that Suri’s work “disqualify him for exile.” A student of Georgetown University is also accused of putting objectionable posts on social media and spreading “anti-Jewish spirit”. After Badar Khan Suri’s custody and arrest, the university spokesperson said that we have not yet been given the reason for Suri’s custody. In addition, we had no information about his involvement in alleged illegal activities.
