timesnow Indian-origin US green card holder Venkata Narsamamba Vasamsetty has been detained by ICE despite an immigration judge dismissing the removal case against her nearly three months earlier. The North Carolina grandmother, who works with special-needs students and has lived in America for 27 years, was taken into custody during a scheduled ICE check-in. Her lawyers have filed an emergency petition, while a federal judge has ordered authorities to explain the legal basis for her detention.
