US EditionMarshall Hospital Employee Granted Release Amid ICE Detainment
- U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez directed ICE to release Aditya Harsono, a Marshall hospital worker detained in late March 2025, citing violation of his First Amendment rights.
- Harsono's detention followed the abrupt revocation of his student visa and stemmed from his peaceful participation in protests and online speech after police killings in 2021.
- Menendez found the government offered no evidence that Harsono posed a public safety threat and noted his detention violated his First Amendment rights.
- Harsono, a 33-year-old Indonesian citizen with a pending green card application through his U.S. Citizen wife, was released after his family posted a $5,000 bond following the court order.
- The ruling highlights wider issues, as Harsono is among multiple international students in Minnesota who have recently been held by ICE under circumstances related to free speech.
