Yet again, USA:
Require that your members of Congress act to stop all of this; and to #ImpeachNoem, #ImpeachRubio, and #ImpeachTrump.
And require action by the state government to protect residents too, #Minnesota.

"The University had no prior knowledge of this incident and did not share any information with federal authorities before it occurred.
Campus departments of public safety, including UMPD, do not enforce federal immigration laws, and our officers do not inquire about an individual’s immigration status."
The U is also trying to ensure that the student has legal representation: https://view.ecommunications2.umn.edu/?qs=00ec6de4613d3769438d05dab22c0eb680b10ffb60a22573151f16f3c764987bb95f44806012399cae1bd8b31916c8e1701e4b9cfb9f8de3a50c2314ef467c783cb6049f18c746df66d848af039ed86b9d740b1e47b3c855

Today I learned that a graduate student at the University of Minnesota was abducted by ICE yesterday. We need a rapid response from leaders at all levels on what we can do to protect everyone in our community. I will keep working on this issue and update as I learn more.

International students are huge assets to the University of Minnesota. ...
I can’t imagine how terrified they are after learning ICE has detained one of their classmates.
I’m tracking this situation closely and have been in touch with U of M leaders.
We need answers on exactly what is happening.

Protest by led the U grad student union outside the Minneapolis ICE office today: https://www.startribune.com/u-graduate-student-detained-by-ice-agents/601265118
University administrators should probably be keeping an eye on the revocation website for visas. They could help their students avoid getting a nasty surprise and/or being hauled away in handcuffs.
