Another college basketball player has been taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in a worrying trend for the sport. Qingfang Pang, a 6-foot-9 junior forward for Mississippi Valley State, was trying to fly from Jackson, Mississippi to New York City on September 29, according to his attorney Marcus Session (via FOS). Pang, who attended high school in New York and has a visa sponsor in the city, was detained at the airport before his flight. According to Session, Pang recently learned from the university that his student visa had recently expired and was traveling to meet his sponsor. 'Mississippi Valley State University is aware of the situation involving one of our students and is deeply concerned for the student's well-being,' the school said in a statement to FOS. 'University officials are closely monitoring the situation and are committed to providing appropriate support as circumstances develop.'Pang is one of many college basketball players who were taken into ICE custody in recent months. At the time of publishing, he was the only Division-I player subjected to these measures. According to the agency, he is being held at Richwood Correctional Center in Louisiana. A Kentucky State women's basketball player, Aminata Seck, was released on bond on Wednesday after being detained for two months. In early September, Deng Deng - a basketball player at Southern Connecticut State University - was arrested by the agency as well. He was recently released. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told FOS that Pang legally entered the country in November of 2023 on a temporary status which ended on September 5, 2024. 'He accepted voluntary departure and will remain in ICE custody pending removal,' the spokesperson said. Session is claiming that ICE made Pang sign the document for voluntary departure. He is requesting bond. Pang transferred to Mississippi Valley State - a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) that competes in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) - this offseason.Previously, he played two seasons of JUCO ball at Monroe University in New York.
