Georgetown professor Nader Hashemi visited an ICE jail in Texas to speak with his colleague Badar Khan Suri a Georgetown professor who was snatched by the Trump administration back in March he was shocked to learn that Suri had been designated a high-security prisoner and only granted two hours of fresh air a week “Badar Khan Suri was very adamant that the suffering and the pain that he has faced and that his family has been subjected to will be worth it the naked authoritarianism the Trump administration if his incarceration keeps the spotlight on the genocide on Gaza,” says Hashemi A federal immigration judge will rule on Suri’s case in the coming days Suri was picked up because he had spoken out for peace,” says Mary Bauer executive director of the ACLU of Virginia “He was arrested very clearly because of his political view and family association.” We end the show with an update on Badar Khan Suri the Georgetown University professor and postdoctoral scholar who was arrested in March by masked federal agents outside of his home in Virginia He had a hearing Thursday before a Biden-appointed judge who gave Trump officials 24 hours to provide details on when they decided to move Suri across at least five ICE facilities to an ICE jail in Texas professor of Middle East and Islamic politics at Georgetown University and director of the center where Badar Khan Suri was hired as a postdoctoral fellow Georgetown’s Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding You very recently went to visit Badar Khan Suri in the ICE detention facility where he now is in Texas I went to visit him because since his arrest on March the 17th One of the shocking things that I learned when I went to the ICE detention facility was that Badar Khan Suri has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security as a high-security so he has restricted rights in the detention facility He only gets two hours of fresh air a week There are constant roll calls to determine his presence in the prison And you’re not able to meet high-risk prisoners face to face so I had to speak with him through a window via an intercom telephone You know, he told me about the conditions that were in that prison, and they were, you know, quite, quite, quite shocking and quite horrific. One of the things that I took away from the meeting was really his spirit of resistance. I wrote an essay on this topic that people can look up and find more details But Badar Khan Suri was very adamant that the suffering and the pain that he has faced and that his family has been subjected to will be worth it the naked authoritarianism of the Trump administration if his incarceration keeps the spotlight on the genocide on Gaza I was really touched by his willingness to fight back and to have his day in court and push back against the charges that have been directed against him by the Trump administration you’re executive director of the ACLU of Virginia If you can give us an update on what the judge said yesterday And I know things are going to change over these next few days Today is the deadline for the federal lawyers; tomorrow this postdoctoral graduate student and professor at Georgetown Suri was picked up because he had spoken out for peace He was arrested very clearly because of his political view and family association And that is fundamentally at odds with the values of American values He was grabbed by masked agents without due process He was sent more than a thousand miles away We were very pleased with the judge’s questions in court and they obviously sought to hold the government accountable and ask them: Why was he moved repeatedly Why was he brought to a facility a thousand miles away and he had to sleep on the floor in the facility in Texas there are real questions that the government is going to have to answer So we are very much looking forward to seeing those answers who was speaking on Thursday outside the courthouse of the U.S District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia MAPHEZE SALEH: I am here today not just as the wife of the political prisoner Badar Khan Suri I speak for everyone who once believed that the United States stood for freedom and justice masked federal agents abducted Badar outside our home in Virginia His unjust and illegal arrest has turned our life upside down Our three children have not seen their father for 44 days They have only seen him on a screen wearing a red uniform used for those considered the most dangerous people in detention center Our very young twins are not aware of what’s going on He cries all the time and tries to hide his tears from his sibling if you could just tell us what’s next in his case MARY BAUER: The judge indicated that she would rule quickly We are expecting answers from the government The judge is expecting answers from the government to very specific questions that really go to the heart of our case Why was he moved in the way — in this secretive way Why was he picked up for removal to Louisiana and then Texas We will have until 6:00 tomorrow to respond and then we do expect a ruling relatively quickly from the court professor of Middle East and Islamic politics at Georgetown University and director of the center where Badar Khan Suri was a postdoctoral fellow Photo by: Nat LeDonne / Duke AthleticsDuke Earns No 7 Seed; Hosts Georgetown Saturday Night5/4/2025 10:12:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse A grand march was held for Sussex Central High School students, and their guests, prior to their senior prom on May 3, 2025 at The Circle in Georgetown See more Delaware Prom photos A grand march was held for Sussex Central High School students, and their guests, prior to their senior prom on May 3, 2025 at The Circle in Georgetown See more Delaware prom photos What's Hot: 262-Unit Development With 'Main Street' Retail Pitched For Columbia Pike by UrbanTurf Staff ✉️ Want to forward this article?

The Clementa C. Pinckney Hate Crimes Act which would impose an additional fine up to $10,000 and up to an additional five years of prison time for crimes proven to have been committed with bias passed twice in the state House but stalled in the Senate It's named for the state lawmaker and pastor who was one of nine worshippers killed during a 2015 shooting at Emanuel AME Church in downtown Charleston Charlie Barrineau, field services manager for the Municipal Association of South Carolina said although the Senate has been discussing the bills again he isn’t hopeful they will pass anytime soon The municipal association advocates for the right of municipalities to exercise “home rule,” or the ability to govern themselves to a certain extent without state approval That includes the right to create hate crime ordinances in the absence of a statewide law Barrineau gave a presentation about the process and the significance of creating a local hate crime ordinance He said it would allow Georgetown’s municipal courts to impose additional fines and jail time for people who commit hate crimes those additional penalties could only be enforced for federal cases under the federal hate crimes law He suggested the council look to Greenville’s ordinance as a model It created a separate offense of "bias-based intimidation" that allows for additional penalties for crimes motivated by hate Georgetown Police Chief William Pierce said he’s neither for nor against the creation of a local hate crime ordinance He told the council that in his 32 years of working in local law enforcement he's only seen a handful of cases where such an ordinance could have been applied Williams-Obeng said it’s important for the city to be proactive The ordinance would serve as a preventative measure and a statement of the city’s values Mayor Carol Jayroe said enhancing penalties would make it clear that Georgetown has a zero-tolerance policy for hate crimes "That's where I think we need to be," she said Williams-Obeng said she hopes there will be enough support for it to appear on the agenda at the next council meeting “I'm hoping to be the voice of conscience for council and that they will look at this from all angles and do the right thing,” she said Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the

they had the same favorite vendor at the weekly market: Borek-G a Turkish food vendor and Farmers’ Market staple When they learned they lived in the same residence hall Foster texted Pernebo to see if she wanted to walk to Red Square together for their first market The Farmers’ Market symbolizes not only their close friendship but also a place for Hoyas to come together over a shared meal “I always thought of it as a great place to foster community and spend time with people outdoors eating good food and getting a little bit more access to different types of cuisine from the local DMV area,” Pernebo said Foster and Pernebo have continued that spirit of community by running the weekly 11 a.m operation as the co-directors of the Georgetown University Farmers’ Market “It is something that I will remember forever,” Foster said “It’s been very meaningful to run it with Emma and bounce ideas off of one another and just bring to the table what we can to help make the market the best it can be.” Wednesday is Foster and Perebo’s favorite day of the week The two seniors often spend their Wednesday mornings unloading produce from a truck behind White-Gravenor Hall and helping vendors set up Pernebo and Foster are often at a table with green Farmers’ Market hats engaging with the community and lending Farmers’ Market-branded picnic blankets they’re troubleshooting problems and ensuring vendors have everything they need from putting up signage to running power cords across Red Square “Any given Wednesday is a 12-hour crash course in problem-solving,” Pernebo said “When something goes wrong or there’s something that someone needs help with we just have to be flexible and adaptable.” one of the most meaningful parts of running the Farmers’ Market is forming relationships with the vendors some of whom have been regulars at the market for more than a decade “It’s a rewarding thing that people from the broader DMV area get to come to Georgetown’s campus,” Foster said “It’s a gratifying experience to see how hard they work to ensure they can be here every season and be a part of the Georgetown community.” Over the last year, Pernebo and Foster have also expanded the Farmers’ Market’s discount program for Georgetown Scholars Program (GSP) students who receive 25% off their orders at the market While only two vendors initially participated in the program Pernebo and Foster have worked to get nearly all of the vendors to accept the discount “That’s been something we’ve been proud to continue and we were proud that we were able to expand it because I think it’s important to make the market more accessible,” Pernebo said “It’s a project that has meant a lot to us and we’ve put the mechanisms in place to keep that going for years to come.” The two Hoyas also brought a fresh produce vendor back to the Farmers’ Market for the first time since fall 2022 many local farms had trouble keeping up with farmers’ markets Foster and Pernebo contacted local farms and found Twin Springs Fruit Farm which has since become a community favorite I’ve witnessed many community members come in with their tote bag and get all the things they want from the market,” Foster said “It’s cool to see a local farm get to experience Georgetown and share all their hard work from that farm with the community.”  their friendship has grown through their years on the Hilltop from a semester abroad together in Prague to now living a few doors down from each other in the Georgetown neighborhood I would say Emma is someone who I didn’t know I needed to find at Georgetown,” Foster said Foster and Pernebo love spending time together over good food They are professionals when it comes to finding new restaurants around the city Foster explained how their friendship has also brought the Farmers’ Market board closer together through shared events like Friendsgiving dinners and potlucks While Pernebo and Foster both prepare to graduate from Georgetown and start their post-graduate lives in New York City they’re excited to see where the Farmers’ Market will go next “I am just proud of the impact we’ve been able to leave and it’s 100% a shared impact,” Pernebo said “I’m so happy about where we’ve taken the market and I’m excited to see what the board does with it next.” Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the

the aftermath of last week's severe hailstorm "I've never seen hail as bad as this," said Mathew Calhoun a Georgetown resident whose outdoor lights Calhoun also pointed out many dents all over his car Calhoun expressed growing concerns for his property "I might have to move some things in the garage to make room for my car another resident who moved into the neighborhood five years ago is facing the daunting task of replacing his entire roof RELATED| Hailstorm wreaks havoc in Georgetown, damages thousands of homes "What goes through your mind is you don't want to go through it again," Uhl said "Still concerned about it after you've been hit I hope it happens before the adjustor gets here tomorrow." residents are anxious about the potential for further damage we have to deal with more storms," Uhl said "I'm hoping they take care of it before the next storm blows in." “It meant a lot to be in a space where I didn’t have to explain why Afghanistan matters to me—people just understood and that made all the difference,” says Aria Wali (SSP’25) Wali came to the Security Studies Program (SSP) as a new resident of the United States from Afghanistan and at Georgetown she pursued her graduate degree as an Al Thani Scholar concentrating on technology Peace & Security graduate certificate from the Georgetown Institute for Women Wali appreciated how much flexibility the Security Studies Program offered her She worked full-time during her studies as a case manager for the U.S State Department Office of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE) Wali had prior experience as a protocol assistant for the U.S ambassador to Afghanistan and deputy chief of protocol to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani “It’s easy to assume the Security Studies Program is all about traditional defense or intel work but there’s actually a lot of space to explore topics like cybersecurity disinformation or even climate-related security issues The program really lets you shape your own path and there’s strong support for diving into less conventional areas,” Wali explains Wali found herself changing her initial focus on traditional security threats to how technology is shaping security: “Topics like cyber threats and the role of tech in global conflicts really grabbed my attention It made me see security in a whole new light—not just about military power or borders but also about how digital tools and innovations are influencing everything from diplomacy to warfare Georgetown helped me expand my thinking and consider how technology will play a huge role in future security strategies.” Shared drive to make a difference was the throughline for the community that Wali found at SFS “People here aren’t just ambitious—they genuinely care about creating positive change It pushed me to grow both intellectually and personally,” Wali says “There’s something special about being surrounded by people who are so passionate and driven Finding places where Wali could bring her full life experience was also an important part of how she felt most supported at Georgetown Wali’s favorite memory from her time was participating in a small student-led roundtable on Afghanistan’s future: “It wasn’t part of any class—just something a few of us organized with a professor who cared deeply about the topic What made it unforgettable was how personal it became I shared my own firsthand experience working on the ground during the U.S and for the first time in an academic setting I felt like my story and perspective truly mattered The room fell completely silent while I spoke—people weren’t just listening That moment reminded me why I chose this path in the first place: to bridge lived experience with policy and purpose.” Faculty and staff mentors were another important part of Wali’s community at SSP She recognizes the impact of Alzbeta Findlay director of academic affairs in the Security Studies Program on her experience: “She was incredibly supportive and always encouraged me to think more critically and confidently about my work Her guidance had a lasting impact on how I navigated both my academic journey and professional development.” Wali’s favorite class was Theory & Practice of Security for both the content and the learning environment “It stood out to me because it combined real-world case studies with foundational security concepts helping me better understand how theory applies to practical challenges in international affairs,” Wali says “Professor Roberts also created a really engaging and thoughtful learning environment which made the course even more impactful for me.” Being a working professional did not keep Wali from engaging with opportunities on the Georgetown campus like the Dean’s Coffee Chat series she explains: “Georgetown fosters collaboration across fields especially when it comes to global challenges from guest speakers to informal discussions always kept things engaging and thought-provoking but it’s that sense of being part of something bigger that I’ll miss the most.” Wali advises incoming graduate students to SFS to explore genuine interests and connect with faculty That’s where the most rewarding experiences usually come from,” she says attend events and don’t skip the coffee chats—even the ones that seem random or unrelated Some of the most helpful advice and opportunities I found came out of those casual conversations They bring such a wide range of experiences and that ends up being one of the best parts of the program.” Wali wants to work at the intersection of security and technology conflict prevention and how emerging technologies can help address global security challenges “I’m especially interested in how innovations like AI and cybersecurity tools can be used to prevent conflict or protect vulnerable populations from new threats,” she says knowledge and connections I need to move forward in this field and work toward making a real impact in global security.” Zachariah John’s (SFS’25) journey at Georgetown has been shaped by both faith and discovery technology and international affairs (STIA) major Zach is passionate about exploring life beyond Earth—and making that knowledge meaningful here at home His Christian faith has grounded him through it all “Spiritually engaging with the campus has helped inform my work in astrobiology as we’re thinking about big things like life in the universe life in space and these really big philosophical questions Georgetown has given me the arena to practice all of those things in the same place,” he says Watch to learn more about John’s SFS experience Thanks for visiting Thanks for visiting McCourt students share their first-hand reflections from their participation in the Tech & Public Policy program’s annual Ideathon Students partaking in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony our partner school for the Ideathon challenge met the rest of the team and toured their beautiful campus We kicked off programming with a guest speaker from Japan’s National Center of Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity The speaker offered some first-hand insights into how cyber and tech policy works at the government level in Japan and some guidance on incorporating emerging technology After his talk (and a delicious udon lunch) we started brainstorming what aspects of quantum policy we want to address as a group this week We wrapped up our day with an incredible tea ceremony with Master Goshima – looking forward to the week to come we have all gone to the 7-11s here at least 10 times already A group of McCourt School and GRIPS students brainstorming tech policy solutions We kicked off the day with an eye-opening simulation led by GRIPS Professor Tomonori Yoshizaki where we stepped into the shoes of different countries’ leadership and reacted to each other’s moves in the quantum space It was fascinating to experience how one decision could ripple into unexpected outcomes forcing us to think through different perspectives it was time to get our hands dirty: we set ground rules for our team and dove deeper to brainstorm ideas from the day before After splitting into smaller groups to research two selected topics we came back together to share and build on each other’s findings hoping these first seeds will grow into strong ideas over the next few days The GRIPS and McCourt team out for dinner at a traditional Izakaya restaurant we started the day with a presentation on quantum technologies by a senior researcher at the Research Institute of Advanced Technology at SoftBank Corp and GRIPS alumnus we continued our group work by gathering ideas for quantum policy prototypes and discussing the most promising one — a quantum policy readiness index  —  with our mentors working on the details of our index or the presentation outline and additional policy tools I felt proud of the progress we made today going from many scattered ideas to a comprehensive toolkit that allows us to draw on the strengths of all team members The day concluded with a team dinner in a traditional ​​Izakaya restaurant GRIPS and McCourt students delivering their final presentations on the last day of Ideathon Thursday and Friday were all about the presentation We had all day Thursday to work on the presentation and do practice run-throughs we kept coming up with new twists until Thursday evening we arrived early to incorporate last-minute changes and do a final practice run before the presentation Seeing guests we’d met earlier in the week and new faces was exciting we had a final lunch and bittersweet goodbyes to our new friends from GRIPS.  I am amazed at what the Ideathon team produces under intense time pressure with a vague scenario about a complex tech topic that leaves a lot of unknowns The Ideathon 2025 team presented an incredible project “QUARK” that identifies countries’ global quantum policy readiness based on a comprehensive framework of key pillars and includes an array of quantum policy tools and education.  It’s meant to apply some principles of product design — such as agility time-limited sprints — to the development of tech policy It’s aimed at teaching students new ways of thinking about tech policy and new approaches to collaboration in a global context Tech policy has lagged so far behind technological evolution so future leaders in tech and policy must have the chance to creatively grapple with some of the novel problems they will face and do it in ways outside of the classroom.  Game Recap: Baseball | 5/2/2025 10:33:00 PM Thanks for
