A Danish national living in the United States for over a decade was detained at his routine immigration appointment due to a 10-year-old paperwork discrepancy, leaving his pregnant wife and four children struggling to cope. Kasper Eriksen, who has been in the country since 2013 and is in the final stages of becoming a US citizen, was taken into custody by ICE agents after arriving for what he thought was his final interview. His wife, Savannah Hobart Eriksen, described the experience as “devastating” and said her husband’s detention has left their family without its sole source of income and stability. The incident raises concerns over the US immigration system’s backlog and treatment of asylum seekers.
