Overview
- Sundas “Sunny” Naqvi, 28, was detained with five colleagues after returning to Chicago, with agents citing only a “curious travel history,” according to her family and attorney.
- She was held at O’Hare for roughly 30 hours, taken to ICE’s Broadview processing center, then transferred to Dodge County, Wisconsin, where she was released early Saturday.
- Relatives tracked her iPhone pinging inside both facilities even as officials allegedly denied she was in custody, and a county commissioner says her phone was accessed and then shut off.
- Elected officials and Naqvi’s lawyer are demanding transparency, have contacted the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and say legal action is under consideration after protests outside Broadview.
- DHS and CBP have not provided an explanation, all five colleagues have been released, and Naqvi’s family says her passport was not returned.
