University of Minnesota Student Sues ICE Over Alleged Wrongful Detention

A University of Minnesota student, who feared he was being kidnapped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has filed a lawsuit seeking immediate release from detention. The student, whose visa was revoked following a DUI arrest, claims that ICE agents detained him without proper justification, causing significant distress and fear.

The lawsuit comes amid growing concerns over the expansion of immigration detentions, particularly targeting international students beyond those involved in protests. The student's ordeal began when he was pulled over for driving under the influence, leading to the revocation of his visa and subsequent detention by ICE.

Advocates argue that the case highlights broader issues with ICE's practices, including the lack of transparency and potential overreach in detaining individuals. The student's legal team is seeking not only his release but also a review of ICE's procedures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The University of Minnesota has expressed concern over the situation, emphasizing the need for clear guidelines and protections for international students. This case may set a precedent for how ICE handles similar situations moving forward.
