ICE Detained Texas A&M PhD And Longtime Green-Card Holder For Months After SFO Stop; Released After Case Dropped

Tae Heung “Will” Kim, a Texas A&M doctoral student and longtime U.S. resident with a green card, was detained by ICE after an SFO airport stop and held for months before being transferred to a Texas facility. Prosecutors later dropped the case after failing to produce court-ordered documents, yet Kim remained in custody until his release. The case highlights heightened ICE/CBP enforcement against LPRs at ports of entry and raises due-process concerns.
