A foreign student studying in the US has been detained by ICE, leaving his family in distress. The incident reportedly took place in Illinois on 7 October 2025, and the family still has no clue where he is being held.
Family Struggles to Locate the Student
Despite repeated efforts, the family remains without answers. They have contacted authorities but received no details about his whereabouts or the reason for his detention.
Efforts to Seek Help from Organisations
As the detention happened in Illinois, the family approached the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC). However, they have not received a response from either organisation yet.
Online Appeals and Emotional Strain
The student’s brother has turned to the online community for help. He tried setting up an ICSolutions account to receive collect calls but cannot proceed without knowing his brother’s location.
Fear and Desperation Deepen
The family’s growing fear and helplessness are overwhelming. Without knowing which facility holds the student, they are unable to take any legal or humanitarian action.
Broader Concerns About Detention Practices
This troubling case underscores a larger issue within the US immigration system. Even students with valid F-1 visa face unexpected detention, sometimes due to administrative errors, leaving families in panic and uncertainty.
