Indian-origin Green Card holder detained by ICE after 27 years in US
After 27 years in US, Indian woman detained by ICE
An Indian woman who has resided in the United States for two and a half decades has been detained by immigration authorities after 27 years of living in the country. Venkata Narsamamba Vasamsetty, a grandmother of two, has been a permanent resident, or Green Card holder, since 2013. She was taken into custody during a routine check-in with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on August 11 and is currently held at an ICE facility in Georgia, according to information from ICE’s online detainee locator system.
Vasamsetty's detention follows a judge's decision on May 19 to terminate her removal proceedings, which centered on whether she abandoned her permanent US residency while she was in India for seven months.
