Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Suri's arrest hinged on Trump administration claims that Suri had "close connections to a known or suspected terrorist, who is a senior advisor to Hamas," Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement following his arrest.
43% : The Trump administration accused Suri of "actively spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media" when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him and revoked his visa nearly two months ago. U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles ruled that Suri may be released so long as he maintains his residency in Virginia and attends other hearings in his case, which he may do virtually.
38% : The week before, a judge ordered the release of Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student visa holder at Columbia University whom Trump officials branded a "terrorist sympathizer.
