Regarding David’s post on Friday about Badar Khan Suri, the Hamas supporter whose student visa has been revoked by the State Department but whose deportation has been stalled by the federal district court in Virginia, I would just note that the judge on the case is Patricia Tolliver Giles. She is the Biden appointee who, shortly before the 2024 election, tried to stop Virginia from removing ineligible persons from the voter rolls – even though registering to vote and voting are crimes for aliens under federal law.

The Supreme Court reversed that decision. I wrote about Judge Giles decision here, and the High Court’s reversal here. Virginia was ably represented by its stellar attorney general, Jason Miyares, with whom it was my pleasure to appear on an NR Institute Ideas Summit panel on Thursday moderated by Dan – the panel also included the hugely impressive Ian Rowe.
