#AustinTice, a former Marine who graduated from the #Georgetown School of #ForeignService & was also enrolled in #law school there, was abducted in August 2012 after traveling to a suburb of Damascus. Weeks later, he appeared blindfolded in a video w/masked men carrying assault rifles. Former American ofcls believe that the video might have been a ruse to blame militants for his abduction.
#BadarKhanSuri, a postdoc fellow at #Georgetown, was released after 58 days.
#RumeyzaOzturk, a #Tufts doctoral student, was released after 45 days.
#MohsenMahdawi, a #Columbia undergrad, was released after 16 days.
But 72 days after his arrest on Mar 9, #MahmoudKhalil — the country’s most prominent pro-#Palestinian #protester turned prisoner — is still detained in Jena, LA….

I can't seem to shake that travel lust in me, so I am planning another trip to Penang 
This coming October, I am riding in #BellRinger 2025 in Washington, DC and raising funds with the goal of ending #cancer.
BellRinger is a bike ride and community movement raising funds for cancer research at Georgetown’s #Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. As the only National Cancer Center Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Washington DC, #Georgetown Lombardi is a leader in cancer research and treatment.
If you feel inclined to support my fundraising efforts, please go to my fundraising page at https://ride.bellringer.org/rider/micahsherr6801.
Your donations will support “bench-to-bedside” initiatives as research at Georgetown Lombardi translates to clinical trials and treatments for patients, impacting the outcomes of cancer care.
Thanks!
Judge orders #Georgetown researcher released from #ICE custody

Buck Hall north of Charleston, in McClellanville, a study in gold contrasts. It was low tide at sunset. All the textures were on display, the dock against the water, the tree silhouettes, the dock lit by the fading sunset. Photographed in winter.

Very proud of these Jewish students, faculty, staff, and alumni at #Georgetown who are taking this stand for #HumanRights.
This feels especially important as we are coming into the #Passover season, to speak out for all who have been unjustly incarcerated by the #Fascist administration.
It's run by Georgetown Law school students, some nice context in this article.
#Immigration ofcls also detained #Palestinian activist & #Columbia graduate #MahmoudKhalil – a #GreenCard holder – earlier this month in front of his pregnant wife, Noor, a US citizen. Other students detained by immigration ofcls include #BadarSuri, an Indian postdoctoral fellow at #Georgetown University, after #DHS accused him of having ties to Hamas.

Auf den Hügeln – und im ganzen Nordwesten Penangs – gibt es eine UNESCO-Naturschutzzone, die auch den Nationalpark umfasst. Im touristisch aufbereiteten "The Habitat" kann man durch eine Regenwaldlandschaft wandern.
Am zweiten Tag in Penang ging es zuerst mit dem Linienbus aus Georgetown raus in eine Vorstadt – inklusive Verständigungsschwierigkeiten mit dem Busfahrer bezüglich Destination fürs Ticket.
Dort ist die Talstation der Bahn, mit der man auf die Hügel rund um die Stadt gelangen kann. Die Hügel tragen so klingende Namen wie "Bukit Bendera" (Flaggenmasthügel) oder "Strawberry Hill" (Erdbeerhügel), werden verwirrenderweise als Ganzes aber "Penang Hill" genannt als wäre es nur ein Hügel.
Dass dort oben Infrastruktur existiert, liegt an der Angst der Briten vor einem französischen Angriff in den napoleonischen Kriegen. Also rodete man die Spitze und baute einen Aussichtspunkt Richtung Meer im Norden.
In response to #BadarSuri's Petition for Writ of #HabeasCorpus, Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles says the detained #Georgetown researcher cannot be deported *for now* The arrest of #BadarSuri, #Trump’s #DHS claimed Suri was spreading“Hamas propaganda,”arrested & sent him to a Louisiana detention center.

#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.
