A US court has rejected the Trump administration's bid to re-detain Badar Khan Suri, a pro-Palestinian scholar at Georgetown University, according to court documents.
Appeal judges sided with Suri against the administration, as reported by legal sources. The decision denies the government's request to return Suri to detention.
The appeal judges' ruling sets up a possible Supreme Court intervention, according to legal observers.
The legal battle over Suri's detention continues.
