In a significant move, a federal judge has intervened to stop the deportation of Badar Khan Suri, an Indian student at Georgetown University in Washington, who is known for his pro-Palestinian activism. The decision comes as a major setback for President Donald Trump's administration, which had ordered Suri's deportation. This case highlights the ongoing debate around immigration policies and freedom of speech in the US, with many advocating for international student rights and others pushing for stricter border control. Key issues like student visa policies and deportation laws are under scrutiny. The ruling is seen as a victory for human rights and academic freedom.
