German national with U.S. green card detained at ICE facility, family says
Fabian Schmidt was arrested and interrogated at the Boston airport, according to his mother and partner. They say they don't know why he is being held in an ICE facility.
Summary
U.S. immigration authorities detained Fabian Schmidt, a 34-year-old German national and legal U.S. resident, at Boston Logan Airport on March 7.
He was interrogated, hospitalized, and later transferred to an ICE detention facility in Rhode Island. His family, unaware of any legal issues, has hired a lawyer.
Schmidt had recently traveled to Germany and was returning home to New Hampshire. His case raises concerns amid Trump’s stricter immigration policies.
The German embassy is monitoring the situation but has not disclosed details. ICE has not commented.

He required medical attention at some point during the interrogation and he was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, Senior said.
What the fuck?!
So “interrogation” just automatically means physical violence to ICE?? Not sure if there’s a better way to read that. I doubt he coincidentally came down with a bad cold in the middle of an interrogation. Fucking thugs.
"It was just said that his green card was flagged," Senior told WGBH. She said her son was "violently interrogated," stripped naked by immigration officials and put into a cold shower.
"He hardly got anything to drink. And then he wasn't feeling very well and he collapsed," she said.
