Judge Orders U of M Student Who Was Detained by ICE to Be Immediately Released
- A U.S. District Court ruling led to the prompt freedom of Dogukan Gunaydin, a student at the University of Minnesota, who had been held by ICE since March 2025.
- The detention followed Gunaydin's 2023 drunk driving conviction, but an immigration judge ruled that the charge did not justify deportation under the Fifth Amendment.
- Gunaydın was held nearly two months despite bond and dismissal of deportation proceedings, with ICE invoking a rarely used post-9/11 stay regulation to maintain custody.
- Following his release on May 22, 2025, Gunaydin expressed relief but also conveyed his distress over the obvious breach of his constitutional due process rights, calling on others to support international students.
- The ruling highlights concerns about ICE's authority to override immigration judges and suggests increased scrutiny of international students' treatment amid recent enforcement actions.
