ICE detentions of asylum seekers in North Carolina
Overview
Recent reports highlight instances of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detaining asylum seekers during routine immigration-related meetings in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In mid-September, a Venezuelan mother and her six-year-old daughter were detained while attending a scheduled check-in. The family had reportedly faced legal complications, including a deportation order issued after a judge failed to appear at a virtual asylum hearing, and alleged fraud by a legal representative who failed to file an appeal.
In early October, a 19-year-old Honduran national with a pending asylum case was also detained during an asylum-related meeting. His family stated he had no criminal record and was working to support them following a father's injury. Following his detention, he was reportedly transported to a facility in Georgia.
