Deng Deng, a Southern Connecticut State University basketball player originally from Aweil, South Sudan, was arrested by ICE agents at Tweed New Haven Airport on September 4 while wearing an SCSU shirt. He had attended high school in New Jersey before beginning his studies at SCSU this year. A DHS spokesperson said Deng had legally entered the U.S. but overstayed his visa. Represented by attorneys Glenn Formica and Steven Strom, Deng filed a habeas corpus petition, and a federal judge issued an order barring his transfer to any ICE facility beyond 150 miles of the Connecticut border. His case was later moved to the District of Massachusetts, and he is currently held at the Wyatt Detention Center in Rhode Island. SCSU said it is in contact with him and assisting where appropriate.
