Badar Khan Suri’s case is a textbook example of why immigration enforcement can’t play games with national security. DHS alleges he’s linked to a Hamas advisor and spread propaganda—that’s not “academic freedom,” that’s a red flag. ICE exists to remove threats, not debate them.

The media’s sob stories about his detention ignore the real issue: why was someone with these ties allowed to operate here in the first place? Deportation isn’t about his wife’s heritage; it’s about protecting Americans from extremism.

If the courts block this, it’s another win for bureaucracy over safety.
