#Suri's arrest comes after an exceptionally public media campaign targeting his wife, #MaphezeSaleh, by pro-Israel groups. Saleh, a U.S. citizen of Palestinian background, is the daughter of #AhmedYousef, a former political advisor to the #Hamas-led government in the #Gaza Strip, after the group gained control there in 2006. #Yousef has been a writer and commentator on Hamas in recent years for major Western media publications, including the New York Times and The Guardian.

On Wednesday, Judge Jesse M. Furman in the Southern District of New York denied the #Trump administration’s attempt to move #Khalil’s case—and therefore the jurisdiction—from New Jersey to Louisiana. The New Jersey court will now decide if Khalil himself will be moved out of the notorious Louisiana facility. “What I think is important is that he did not transfer the case to Louisiana, which would be away from his entire legal team and would just put the case in a very different situation,” said Amy Greer, one of Khalil’s attorneys...

"It should be clear by now that America is not exceptional; the constitution is not a magical document that will protect our freedoms simply by existing. We are sliding towards an authoritarian future at alarming speed and #Khalil’s detention is an important reminder that we can’t fight for our rights in isolation. All of our freedoms are intertwined."
