Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Georgetown University researcher Badar Khan Suri was permitted to return to his job and stay in the United States after a deal was struck with the federal government as litigation plays out in court.
On Tuesday, five-page court documents revealed the U.S. Justice Department reached a settlement that partially resolves the nearly five-month long legal fight after his arbitrary arrest in March by masked agents of U.S. Immigration Custom and Enforcement, part of President Donald Trump's sweeping immigration policy moves.
Suri, a citizen of India, is in the United States on an academic visa and has not been charged with a crime.
Tuesday's DOJ deal retroactively restored the legal status for Suri and his children but does not end efforts to deport him.
