The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has arrested and is seeking to deport an Indian national studying at Georgetown University, the latest in a series of arrests following through on President Donald Trump’s promise to find and deport “terrorist sympathizers.”

Badar Khan Suri, a foreign exchange student at the school, was arrested because he has been “actively spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media,” Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for DHS, said on social media platform X.
