Leaders from the University of Minnesota said in a statement this week that an international graduate student is being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The school’s leadership said ICE had detained the student on March 27 at off-campus housing, describing the situation as “deeply concerning.” The graduate student is enrolled at the university’s Twin Cities campus business school.
