ICE says a University of Minnesota student’s visa was revoked for drunken driving, not protests

A University of Minnesota graduate student was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for a drunken driving infraction, not for protests, according to Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security.
The student was arrested after the State Department revoked their visa due to a prior DUI criminal history.
U.S. Senator Tina Smith expressed concern, stating that the pattern of ICE detaining students with little explanation is troubling and ignores their rights to due process.
Governor Tim Walz mentioned he spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem about the incident and is waiting for further details.
