"WASHINGTON — Federal immigration authorities have detained a graduate student
from India who was teaching at Georgetown University on a student visa, his
attorney said Wednesday.

Masked agents arrested the student, Badar Khan Suri, outside his home in
Arlington, Virginia, on Monday night, attorney Hassan Ahmad said.

The agents identified themselves as being with the Department of Homeland
Security and told him the government had revoked his visa, Ahmad said.

Ahmad called Suri’s detention “beyond contemptible” and said he had done
nothing wrong.

Ahmad said he spoke with Suri on Wednesday night and that Suri was grateful for
the support he has received since his arrest."
