Giles found that Suri&#8217;s detention violated his First Amendment and Fifth Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p>Suri is married to a U.S. citizen whose father was a government official and advisor in Gaza.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The government cited his alleged &#8220;close connections&#8221; to a Hamas official as justification for revoking the visa, saying he was &#8220;actively spreading Hamas propaganda.&#8221; In March, Suri was surrounded and detained by masked Homeland Security agents as he was returning to his home in Rosslyn, Virginia, after breaking his fast for Ramadan.<\/p>\n<p>One day after he was taken into custody, Giles blocked the government from deporting Suri as court proceedings played out.<\/p>\n<p>ACLU Attorney Sophia Gregg called Suri&#8217;s detention an &#8220;ongoing infringement&#8221; on his constitutional rights that &#8220;chills the speech of millions and millions&#8221; across the country who are protesting the ongoing war in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement after the ruling, the ACLU&#8217;s legal director in Virginia Eden Heilman called Suri&#8217;s detention an &#8220;unprecedented attack by this administration designed to punish students and academics for their views.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department, as it did in the cases of other students who were detained for what the government has classified as &#8220;illegal protests,&#8221; said that only immigration judges could free Suri and that the government had a right to detain him until his removal proceedings were finalized.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Giles disagreed with their arguments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government has consistently made that argument across multiple jurisdictions,&#8221; Giles said. &#8220;No one has adopted that.&#8221; She said in her order from the bench that she has jurisdiction to free Suri while his habeas proceedings play out in Virginia and his removal proceedings continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Giles also refuted the government&#8217;s claims that he has ties to Hamas through his father-in-law.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite public statements from the White House and other Trump administration officials about Suri, his wife and father-in-law, Giles said &#8220;there was no evidence submitted to this court regarding statements that he made,&#8221; in support of Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I join several other courts&#8230; that speech regarding the conflict [in Gaza] and opposing Israel&#8217;s military actions are likely protected First Amendment speech,&#8221; Giles said, adding that she finds Suri&#8217;s &#8220;detention and apprehension was caused by his speech.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Giles ruled that she has appropriate jurisdiction in the case and that the Eastern District of Virginia is the proper venue, siding with Suri&#8217;s attorneys despite a Justice Department argument that the case should be moved to Texas, where Suri is detained.<\/p>\n<p>In their initial court filings, Suri&#8217;s attorneys said his detention is &#8220;unjustified&#8221; and violates his due process rights. They argued that the Trump administration&#8217;s targeting of noncitizens for removal based on protected speech, namely his and his wife&#8217;s views of Israel and Gaza, is &#8220;arbitrary and capricious&#8221; and constitutes viewpoint discrimination. They said that he has no criminal record and has not been charged with any crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The complaint alleged that the couple had &#8220;long been doxxed and smeared&#8221; online by an &#8220;anonymously-run blacklisting site&#8221; known as The Canary Mission. The site alleges that Saleh, who Suri&#8217;s attorneys said is a U.S. citizen, &#8220;has worked for Hamas, expressed support for Hamas terrorism and called for Israel&#8217;s destruction,&#8221; according to a profile dedicated to her on the site. The Canary Mission, the complaint said, runs a blacklist of individuals who its creators believe support Palestinian rights and &#8220;is infamous for bullying, slandering, and defaming academics and students.&#8221; The complaint also alleges that the couple were &#8220;smeared&#8221; by other websites.<\/p>\n<p>A Georgetown University spokesperson said Suri obtained his visa &#8220;to continue his doctoral research on peacebuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are not aware of him engaging in any illegal activity, and we have not received a reason for his detention,&#8221; the school spokesperson told CBS News. &#8220;We support our community members&#8217; rights to free and open inquiry, deliberation and debate, even if the underlying ideas may be\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>difficult, controversial or objectionable. We expect the legal system to adjudicate this case fairly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Giles ordered Suri&#8217;s release with no bond and no conditions, finding that he was not a flight risk or a danger to the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jacob-rosen\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Jacob  Rosen<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Jake Rosen is a reporter covering the Department of Justice.
