OUTRAGE AS ICE DETAINS NIGERIAN PROFESSOR AND NURSE DESPITE YEARS OF AUTHORIZED WORK IN THE UNITED STATES
Nigerian born nurse and University of San Francisco professor Dr Ann Lawani remains in ICE custody in Louisiana after being arrested at her Lodi, California home on September 16. She has federal authorization to work and an immigration judge previously granted her protection from deportation to Nigeria because of a risk of persecution, but DHS says she remains subject to a final removal order and stresses that a work permit does not grant permanent immigration status. Congressman Josh Harder is demanding her release and return to California, questioning why a healthcare worker with no reported criminal history remains detained thousands of miles from home.
