US EditionUS wants to move Georgetown scholar’s deportation lawsuit to Texas. Judge appears skeptical
- The Trump administration asked a federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, to move a Georgetown scholar's deportation lawsuit to Texas where he is jailed.
- The request follows Badar Khan Suri's March 17 arrest in Arlington, Virginia, on allegations of spreading Hamas propaganda and his subsequent transfers from Virginia to Louisiana, then Texas.
- Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles expressed skepticism about the government's overcrowding claim and raised concerns that dismissing the Virginia case would negate her March order keeping Khan Suri in the U.S. during his First Amendment lawsuit.
- Khan Suri’s lawyers from the ACLU contend that his transfer was intended to ensure his case would be heard by a judge with more conservative views, with attorney Hassan Ahmad remarking, "This kind of rigged game has to stop."
- The legal dispute highlights tensions over constitutional rights, detention conditions, and jurisdiction, indicating potential challenges in Khan Suri's deportation proceedings and ongoing First Amendment claims.
