Trump's supporter is getting deported.
A Mississippi man and green card holder who has been in the United States for over a decade was detained at what was supposed to be a routine immigration appointment, throwing his family's life into turmoil, according to an account from his wife.
Kasper Eriksen, a Danish national, traveled to Memphis for what he thought be the final interview in his application for U.S. citizenship on April 15, 2025.
The 31-year-old welder, who has lived legally in the United States since 2013, was taken into custody due to what the family described as a paperwork discrepancy dating back to 2015.
He has since been held at the LaSalle Detention Center, an ICE facility in Jena, Louisiana.
Eriksen's wife, Savannah Hobart Eriksen, says the situation came about without warning.
"At 8 a.m. on April 15, 2025, we arrived in Memphis for his final interview together. There, we were met by ICE agents. Kasper was detained for a paperwork miscommunication from 2015, and I was sent home with no explanation and no idea where my husband had been transported," she said. "I was 22 weeks pregnant at the time, and as I drove the 3-hour journey back to Sturgis, Mississippi, to say I couldn't control my emotions would be an understatement."
