It's not that difficult to be a decent person. Why do they try so hard not to?

brush strokes of blue green pink amid curved lines forming peaks of small waves. they look like small fish. there is a sperm whale tale though it is obscured and invisible to most

Dr. Badar Khan Suri

Dr. Badar Khan Suri

I just met with legal counsel for my constituent, Dr. Badar Khan Suri.

Dr. Suri is a global conflict scholar at Georgetown who was detained without explanation by masked agents outside his Arlington home, then disappeared without due process to a prison 1,300 miles from his wife and children. 1/

Dr. Suri is not charged with a crime, the Administration is targeting him to instill fear on campuses and clamp down on free speech.

What that they've done to Dr. Suri is wrong, and he should be released. I will continue to speak up about his case as courts consider it in the days ahead. 2/2
