Summary

An Indonesian father of an infant with special needs, who was detained by federal agents at his hospital workplace in Minnesota after his student visa was secretly revoked, will remain in custody after an immigration judge ruled Thursday that his case can proceed. Harsono, 33, was arrested four days after his visa was revoked without notice. Gad said that Harsono was detained without clear explanation and interrogated for hours. Harsono was brought to the Kandiyohi County Jail, where he is still detained, according to the Ice detainee locator. Harsono’s case comes amid a wave of reports of student visas being revoked under the Trump administration’s new executive policy.
