- Fourth Circuit creates circuit split over handling of detained pro-Palestinian scholars
The Fourth Circuit ruled against the Trump administration, allowing detained noncitizens to seek judicial relief in District Courts for unconstitutional immigration detentions. This decision conflicts with the Third Circuit's ruling in Khalil v. President, which denied such jurisdiction to District Courts. The case involves pro-Palestinian scholars, including Georgetown postdoctoral fellow Badar Khan Suri, who argue detention for political views violates the First Amendment.
