BREAKING🚨 ICE just arrested a special needs teacher who’s lived in the USA for 26 years, has a green card, and no criminal record. Her nightmare began when she left the country to care for her critically ill parents.
Venkata Vasamsetty flew to India in July 2022 after her elderly parents became seriously ill.
Then she got sick herself.
Vasamsetty caught COVID, was hospitalized for nearly two weeks, and ended up staying in India for about seven months before finally returning home to North Carolina.
Immigration authorities claimed her long absence meant she had abandoned her permanent residency.
She fought them.
Earlier this year, an immigration judge ordered DHS to produce evidence that Vasamsetty had actually abandoned her green card.
DHS missed the deadline.
On May 19, the judge DISMISSED the deportation case. When DHS tried to submit its evidence late, the judge refused.
Less than three months later, Vasamsetty did exactly what ICE required her to do: she showed up at its Charlotte field office for a scheduled appointment.
ICE put her in handcuffs and took her away.
Vasamsetty has held a green card since 2013 and spent more than a decade substitute teaching special-needs students in Wake County. Her two children and her grandchildren are U.S. citizens.
She is also severely diabetic. Her daughter Teja says ICE took her without her insulin and that she went two days without it. DHS disputes allegations that she has received inadequate medical care.
Her attorney has called the appointment a “trap” and filed an emergency habeas petition. A federal judge has now ordered the government to explain what legal authority it has to keep her detained.
She remains locked inside a Georgia detention center.
