The Trump administration asked the US Supreme Court to overturn a lower court decision releasing Georgetown University scholar Badar Khan Suri, who had been held for two months in immigration detention over criticism of Israel. The Department of Justice argued federal courts should not have the power to intervene in immigration detention decisions, a case that could set precedent for judicial oversight of immigration enforcement tied to political speech. The case has become a flashpoint over free speech protections for pro-Palestinian advocacy in the US amid broader controversy over the Trump administration's targeting of critics of Israel.
