ICE detains University of Minnesota international graduate student near Twin Cities campus
An international graduate student at the University of Minnesota was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement last Thursday, according to a statement from university leadership who called the situation “deeply concerning.”
The student was enrolled at the school’s Twin Cities campus in Minneapolis under the Carlson School of Management. The university said the student was arrested at an off-campus residence, but did not name the student nor say why the student was detained.
The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News Digital on Monday that the student was not arrested in relation to the anti-Israel protests that have erupted across various American institutions, which has led the Department of State to revoke many foreign students of their visas.
“This is not related to student protests,” a senior DHS official said. “The individual in question was arrested after a visa revocation by the State Dept. related to a prior criminal history for a DUI.”

While “the University had no prior knowledge of this incident and did not share any information with federal authorities before it occurred,” the institution said it is working to provide the student with legal aid and other support services.
Carlson School of Management Dean Jamie Prenkert said the university remains committed to its international community during “a time of uncertainty regarding changing federal immigration policies.”
“Detentions like these deeply affect our community,” Prenkert said in a statement. “From the very beginning of the University’s business school, our doors have been open to international students. Faculty, staff, and scholars hailing from different countries have strengthened our research and classrooms—shaping us into the Carlson School we are today.”

Gov. Tim Walz commented on the incident in a post on X on Friday.
“I just spoke with Homeland Security to get more information and I will share when I learn more,” Walz said. “The University of Minnesota is an international destination for education and research. We have any number of students studying here with visas, and we need answers.”

Sen. Doron Clark also released a statement on X on Friday denouncing the Trump administration’s crackdown on international students.
“I am saddened and angered that ICE is operating around the University of Minnesota,” Clark said. “Our campuses should be a safe place for all students, staff, and visitors… We must stand up against the Trump administration’s senseless demonization of our friends, family and neighbors.”
Clark made the statement at a time when ICE has made multiple arrests in recent weeks at Columbia University and Tufts after students showed engagement in anti-Israel protests.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio also said the state department has revoked visas for about 300 international students due to the protests.
“It might be more than 300 at this point,” Rubio said during a press statement on Friday. “We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa.”
“We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree,” Rubio said. “If you come into the United States as a visitor and create a ruckus for us. We don’t want it.”

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Much of Indiana was under a severe thunderstorm watch until 11 p.m. EDT Tuesday, the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center said.
Indianapolis and the surrounding counties were in the watch area. The watch extends into Illinois.
Counties in the watch are Adams, Allen, Bartholomew, Benton, Blackford, Boone, Brown, Carroll, Cass, Clay, Clinton, Delaware, DeKalb, Elkhart, Fountain, Fulton, Grant, Greene, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Henry, Howard, Huntington, Jasper, Jay, Johnson, Kosciusko, LaGrange, La Porte, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Miami, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Newton, Noble, Owen, Parke, Porter, Pulaski, Putnam, Randolph, Shelby, St. Joseph, Starke, Steuben, Sullivan, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Vermillion, Vigo, Wabash, Warren, Wells, White and Whitley.
WRTV Meteorologist Adam Fieck said counties farther north were expected to have more severe weather than others in Indiana, based on a prediction for the areas. Fieck said storms will begin to work into the Indianapolis metro area as early as 5-6 p.m. Storms will exit the area by 11 p.m.
Fieck and WISH-TV Meteorologist Keith Gibson said main threats will be for gusty winds and localized heavy downpours. Small hail up to the size of a pea is possible, with a low-end risk for a brief spin-up tornado farther north.
After the storms, Gibson said variably cloudy skies are likely overnight, with cool lows in the mid-50s.

On Wednesday, high-end severe weather appears likely in the region as an unusually strong storm system, by June standards, was expected.
WRTV Meteorologist Ryan Morse said two rounds of showers and storms are expected, with the second being the bigger issue. A moderate risk is in place for spots northwest of Indianapolis, while most of central Indiana is at an enhanced risk.
