A Houston ISD student from Russia was detained by ICE despite being in the US legally. The 18-year-old student, Alim Garipov, was arrested by federal agents on July 17. He was released three days later.
His detention was related to an overstayed visa, but he has a pending asylum case. Further details on Garipov's case are available from Houston Public Media, which reports that immigration experts view his detention as an example of ICE's expanded enforcement under the current administration.
