7. SOUNDBITE (English) Mapheze Saleh, Dr. Khan Suri’s wife:
"Hearing the judge words brought tears to my eyes. I wish I could give her a heartful hug from me and from my three children who long to see their father. Bader told me if my suffering in the detention center is because I married to a Palestinian and because I spoke out against the genocide in Gaza, then I should wear it as a badge of honor. What I endure here is a drop in the ocean compared to the pain of the Palestinian who has been bombed, starved and massacred for 585 days. "

STORYLINE:
A federal judge has ordered that a Georgetown scholar from India be released from immigration detention after he was detained in the Trump administration’s crackdown on foreign college students.
The judge issued the ruling Wednesday.
Badar Khan Suri was arrested by masked, plain-clothed officers on the evening of March 17 outside his apartment complex in Arlington, Virginia.
Officials said his visa was revoked because of his social media posts and his wife’s connection to Gaza as a Palestinian American. They accused him of supporting Hamas, which the U.S. has designated as a terrorist organization.
