Detained refugee in Minnesota raises funds for green card medical exam
Oct 2, 2026·Location: Duluth, MN
A refugee detained by ICE in northern Minnesota is fighting his deportation case by applying for a green card. He needs to pay for a required $2,000 medical exam but lacks the funds, so a GoFundMe campaign was launched to help cover the cost. If he obtains the green card, his deportation proceedings would end and he could be released from detention.
