But on Wednesday, US District Judge Petricia Toliver Gills ruled that he could return home to his family in Virginia while his legal challenge moves forward.Khan Suri was arrested on 17 March by masked plaincloths officials outside his house in Arlington, Virginia. His lawyers of the American Civil Liberty Union say he was rapidly transferred to Louisiana and then Texas without permission to contact his family or lawyer.The Trump administration canceled its visa as a Palestinian American, citing social media posts and his wife’s connection to Gaza. Officials accused him of supporting Hamas, a group named by the United States as a terrorist organization.However, Judge Gills said that the online statement of the academic appeared “protected political speech”. “Speech about the struggle there and opposing Israel’s military operations about the struggle there is probably a political speech.”She left: “The first amendment does not distinguish between citizens and nonsuctions.” The judge also considered the needs of Khan Suri’s young children and said that he did not believe that he has posed a threat to the community.Prior to his custody, Khan Suri was teaching a course on majority and minority rights in South Asia and expected to continue his career in academics. He came to America on J -1 visa in 2022 and lives in Virginia with his three children, including his wife, Saleh and five -year -old twin children.Government lawyers tried to move the case to Texas, arguing in custody in Virginia. But the judge found his argument inconsistent, given that Khan Suri was placed in a crowded conditions in Texas and slept on a plastic cot on the floor.His lawyers argued that the purpose of transfer was to be kept in more conservative court, a claim that the judge presented to agree.
