US EditionMarshall Hospital Employee Granted Release Amid ICE Detainment
- A U.S. District Court directed ICE to promptly release Aditya Harsono, a 33-year-old hospital supply chain manager from Marshall, Minnesota, who had been held at Kandiyohi County Jail since his arrest in late March 2025.
- Harsono's detention followed the revocation of his student visa without notice, and legal arguments claim the detention resulted from his peaceful protests and protected speech, not his misdemeanor conviction.
- Harsono, an Indonesian environmental science student married to a U.S. Citizen, was arrested at work at a Marshall hospital after attending 2021 protests against police violence and posting advocacy messages online.
- Judge Katherine Menendez found Harsono's custody violated the First Amendment and stated he was entitled to a writ of habeas corpus for release within 48 hours, recognizing lack of evidence for public safety threats.
- Harsono's release highlights ongoing concerns about ICE detentions tied to free speech, with at least two other Minnesota international students facing similar circumstances, suggesting legal challenges continue.
