In Virginia, Georgetown University scholar Badar Khan Suri has reunited with his family following his release on bail from a Texas ICE jail, after a federal judge on Wednesday ruled his detention violated his rights to free speech and due process. Khan Suri’s release comes one week after Tufts scholar Rümeysa Öztürk was freed from a Louisiana ICE jail and two weeks after Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi was released from ICE custody in Vermont.

Federal agents abducted Khan Suri outside his home in Virginia in March, separating him from his three children and his wife, a U.S. citizen of Palestinian descent. Khan Suri is a peace scholar. He recently wrote from behind bars that he will “leave no avenue unexplored in defying the witch hunt unleashed upon me and others who believe in freedom for Palestinians.”
