University of Minnesota student detained by ICE
A University of Minnesota international student enrolled in the business school at the Twin Cities campus has been detained by U.S. immigration authorities, the school confirmed in a statement this week. The student was taken into custody at an off-campus residence, raising concerns among university leaders.
It is unclear what led to the student’s detention, as ICE has not yet provided a response to requests for comment. The university is offering the student legal aid and other support services in this challenging time.
University officials emphasized that they did not share information with federal authorities and were not given advance notice of the student’s detention. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz expressed his concern on social media, stating that the University of Minnesota is a hub for international education and research, with many students studying on visas.
As the situation unfolds, Governor Walz said he is in contact with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to get more answers about the case. The University of Minnesota is known for its diverse student body, and the news of an international student being detained has sparked a call for transparency and understanding regarding the immigration process.
