ICE Detains Norwegian Woman at San Diego USCIS Interview in Sign of Expanding Office Arrests

Attorneys describe a growing practice of detaining visa overstays during interviews at the city’s immigration office.

Overview

  • Hanne Daguman was taken into custody after acknowledging a visa overstay during a marriage green card interview, according to her husband.
  • She is held at the Otay Mesa Detention Center; her husband says the Type 1 diabetic lost access to her continuous glucose monitor and diet has been a concern.
  • CoreCivic, which runs the facility, declined to discuss her records and said detainees, including those with diabetes, receive access to medical and mental health care.
  • ICE said people unlawfully present, including those out of status at federal sites such as USCIS offices, may face arrest, detention and removal.
  • Daguman’s attorney says recent noncriminal overstays are being detained during interviews and expects many to seek bond, and her next court date is Monday, Nov. 24.
