Fabian Schmidt is a lawful permanent resident of the US, but he too was detained by immigration officers at the same airport in Boston - Logan Airport. He had been visiting Luxembourg, and flew back to the U.S. on Friday. His partner had gone to pick him up at Logan Airport, and waited four hours before calling authorities.
His mother says Schmidt was “violently interrogated” for hours at the airport, stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.
She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.
“He hardly got anything to drink. And then he wasn’t feeling very well and he collapsed,” said Senior.
He was transported by ambulance to Mass General Hospital. Then he was transported to the regional headquarters for ICE in Burlington, Massachusetts, and then transferred to the Wyatt detention facility in Boston. Lawyers are attempting to get him out.
