ICE Detainee Violinist Posts $25K Bond; Release Imminent From Aurora ICE Facility Amid Bond Access Fight

Utah violinist John Shin, brought to the U.S. as a child, was detained by ICE and held at the Aurora ICE Processing Center after his temporary status was revoked following a 2019 impaired driving ticket. A judge granted a $25,000 bond; government attorneys declined to appeal, and his bond was processed, making his release imminent. His legal team has sought case dismissal and his wife has filed a spousal visa petition. The case ties into recent disputes over bond access at Aurora involving long-term residents.
