Indian-Origin Green Card Holder Detained by ICE After Deportation Case Dismissed
Venkata Vasamsetty, an Indian-origin US green card holder and special-needs teacher in North Carolina, was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) months after an immigration judge dismissed her deportation case. The government alleged she abandoned her permanent residency due to a seven-month stay in India caring for an ailing parent and recovering from Covid-19, a claim her family and lawyers dispute. Vasamsetty has lived in the US for nearly three decades with strong ties including family, employment, and property.
