The arrest of #BadarSuri, #Trump’s #DHS claimed Suri was spreading“Hamas propaganda,”arrested & sent him to a Louisiana detention center. Suri is a LEGAL resident of Virginia married to a full US citizen of Palestinian heritage.

#Trump is seeking to #deport another #academic who is legally in the country

Badar Khan Suri, a fellow at #Georgetown, says he is being punished because of the suspected views of his wife, a US #citizen w/ #Palestinian heritage.
Hooded #ICE agents snatched the India-born Georgetown postdoc #BadarSuri from Rosslyn street Mon, per the court filing. Like #MahmoudKhalil, Suri was subject to #MarcoRubio’s 'foreign policy' power, atty says.

#SiliconValley #Shysters Indicted : Founder of #SanFrancisco based #AI chatbot company and his #Georgetown JD lawyer wife have been indicted on over 20 counts for investment #fraud schemes that prosecutors say raked in $60 Million via use of #forgery, identity theft, faked #financial statements etc

The wife, also the firm's #attorney, faces an additional 20 years in #prison for obstruction of #justice if convicted along with husband in schemes to foster their unlawful lavish lifestyles. At one point the legal #scam fraudulently showed #investors documents ensuring they had a $13m cash balance in the account and $69m in annual revenues when their real bank balance was $25.93

#Funders involved in feeding the greedy fake paper corporation included household name celebs like #SnoopDogg and #JoeMontana.

Prior to this week's #indictments, the #scheme first unraveled 6 months ago when an article appeared at #VentureBeat announcing abrupt departure of now indicted #CEO.

40 YRS AGO #OTD #MemoryLane

My 1984-85 #NYE in DC

All Ages gig was moved from #NWDC #WilsonCenter basement to a movie theater in #Georgetown...employees had keys to load bands in. Show started way after midnight.

Riot broke out shortly after this show started when suburban skinheads got into a fight outside with DC locals in Georgetown...

#ReaganYouth were still great, in fact suicidal singer Dave Insurgent (RIP) thrived amidst the chaos... WarZone from NYC also played when Scream bailed featuring #ToddYouth and tiny tween drummer/singer Ray “Raybeez” Barbieri (RIP) who'd also played in #AgnosticFront.
