Minnesota Daily: ICE detains UMN student

Federal authorities have detained and arrested multiple international students in the last few weeks.

A University of Minnesota graduate student was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers Thursday night, according to a statement from University leadership.

The international graduate student, who is enrolled in the Carlson School [of Management], was detained at an off-campus residence. The University is not sharing the student’s name or where they are being held due to student privacy laws, but it is providing support to the student, University spokesperson Andria Waclawski said. 

There are more than 5,200 international students at the University, roughly 11% of the total student body.

ICE has arrested more than 32,000 people since Donald Trump took office in January, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Last year, ICE made just over 33,000 arrests.
