Two Indian-origin individuals, Pritesh Walia, a jazz guitarist, and Venkata Vasamsetty, a green-card holder grandmother, have been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in separate cases, highlighting the Trump administration's intensified deportation and enforcement drive.
These detainees, a significant number of whom are from Punjab, are seeking asylum, claiming that they 'experienced violence or persecution' in India.
