Trump administration asks US Supreme Court to allow detention of pro-Palestinian scholar

By Nate Raymond Sept 22 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration has asked the US Supreme Court to overturn a decision that led to the release of a Georgetown University scholar who had advocated for Palestinian rights and opposed Israel's war in Gaza. The Department of Justice on Monday asked the high court to consider whether federal immigration law barred a lower-court judge from ordering Badar Khan Suri released, after hearing his claims that his detention violated his due process and free speech rights under the US Constitution.
