ICE Arrests Johns Hopkins Researcher Amid Increased Airport Immigration Enforcement
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has increased arrests at airports, including the detention of Johns Hopkins researcher Fatima Ameaka at Baltimore Washington International Airport. While DHS states Ameaka overstayed her visa, she holds a valid work permit until 2029 and has a pending asylum application, raising concerns among academics and immigration advocates. Lawyers warn that visa holders with expired status but pending applications face detention risks during domestic flights, advising travelers to carry documentation and seek legal counsel before traveling.
