Augsburg and DHS Clash Over Warrant, Conduct in ICE Arrest on Private Campus

Public records checks have not corroborated DHS assertions about the student's criminal history.

Overview

  • ICE detained Augsburg University undergraduate Jesus Saucedo-Portillo in a campus parking lot over the weekend.
  • University leaders say agents refused to produce a judicial warrant and carried out an arrest on private property the president called illegal.
  • DHS says officers told staff they had a warrant and accuses an administrator and campus security of obstructing the operation.
  • A campus email and the president's remarks describe agents arriving in greater numbers, pointing weapons, and pushing back witnesses as staff followed protocol.
  • The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported no Minnesota DWI case and no national sex offender registry listing matching DHS claims.
