Kentucky State Basketball Player Detained by ICE; Attorney Worries About Her Medical Care
Her attorney says her student visa expired and worries about medical care after she was moved from detention to a hospital.
- Kentucky State University basketball player Aminata Seck was detained in Aug at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport after clearing the TSA checkpoint while traveling to New York.
- Attorney Sadiqa Reynolds, representing Seck, noted the student's visa likely expired around the time she underwent surgery, which may have triggered the immigration detention.
- Reynolds expressed concern that Seck is not receiving proper medical attention; the athlete requires another surgery for an Achilles tendon injury and needs immediate care.
- When Reynolds visited Seck at the Grayson County Detention Center on Sunday, staff informed her that Seck had been moved to a hospital but refused to disclose which one.
- Since the detention, WLKY has contacted the Department of Homeland Security seeking answers, while Reynolds continues struggling to obtain real-time information about Seck's health and medical history.
