ICE agents are torturing a green card holder from New Hampshire, his mother says

www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court. Schmidt 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. “It was just said that his green card was flagged,” said Astrid Senior, his mother. She said she didn’t hear from her son directly until Tuesday, when she learned he’d been hospitalized. Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being 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.

I know the world is on fire, but can you help a girl graduate? She needs way more people to fill out her dissertation survey. You can fill it out if you're Black/AA and have ever been in grad school! If not, you can help by sharing!

🚨 Calling all students (UG and postbacc)! 🚨 Come work with me (well, with Dr. Evan White, but I'll be here too 😊) at LIBR this summer! This paid summer internship is an excellent way to gain additional research exposure and skills as you plan for your next training steps!

I believe the same is happening with at-risk PI R01 apps. They are being pulled without consideration, even though they go to the same review panels.

Here’s an article describing/listing post-bacc programs - structured experiences after undergrad that help prepare you for grad studies (@valenciajl.bsky.social)

My post-bacc gave me research experience I felt I needed to be ready for a PhD

Strongly encourage applying!
