Georgetown University researcher detained by ICE, sources say

A Georgetown University researcher has been detained by immigration authorities, sources with the Department of Homeland Security confirmed Wednesday amid the Trump administration's crackdown on activists across college campuses.

Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national, is a postdoctoral associate who was studying and teaching on a student visa.

According to a statement from Georgetown University spokesperson, Suri obtained his visa in order "to continue his doctoral research on peacebuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan."
