US EditionFather of 4 Detained by ICE at Citizenship Interview After Living in US for 12 Years
- Kasper Juul Eriksen, a 32-year-old Danish father of four, was detained by ICE at his final citizenship interview on April 15 in Memphis, Tennessee.
- The detention resulted from a failure to submit Form I-751 to remove conditions on his residency, a paperwork miscommunication dating back to 2015 that his family was never properly notified about.
- Eriksen, who legally immigrated in 2013, worked consistently as a welder and was actively pursuing U.S. Citizenship while supporting his pregnant wife and homeschooling their children in Mississippi.
- Since being held in a detention facility in Louisiana, Eriksen has lost approximately 25 pounds and is scheduled for a bond hearing on May 27, while advocates emphasize that many detainees face no criminal charges and experience administrative errors.
- This case exemplifies increased immigration enforcement under the current administration, emphasizing strict adherence to procedural requirements and raising concerns over detaining legal immigrants due to bureaucratic issues.
