San Francisco Giants Outfielder Jung Hoo Lee Detained by Immigration Agents at LAX Airport, Team Confirms
Jung Hoo Lee was detained for about an hour at LAX over missing travel documents before being released, enabling him to attend the Giants FanFest, officials said.
- Wednesday night, CBP detained San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee at Los Angeles International Airport and released him around 6:30 p.m.
- CBP detained Lee after officials found missing travel documents because he left them in South Korea, and Scott Boras said, `I think he just forgot one of the documents.`
- Pelosi's office said it worked with federal agencies and the Giants organization, coordinating with federal liaisons for about an hour before Lee was released.
- Officials said the matter was clarified and Lee was cleared to travel to the Bay Area and will appear at the FanFest at City Center Bishop Ranch, San Ramon on Saturday with Tony Vitello.
- Foreign players have long faced visa-related delays, and Lee's case highlighted that pattern amid recent denials for Ethiopian runners and a Venezuelan teen baseball team before spring training on Feb. 10 and Feb. 15.
