A Mississippi father of four, Kasper Eriksen, was detained by ICE in March during a naturalization appointment in Memphis due to a missing immigration form from 2015. Eriksen, a Danish immigrant with no criminal record, failed to submit Form I-751 after his wife suffered a stillbirth. Despite years of compliance with immigration rules and tax payments, he now faces possible deportation to Denmark.
ICE transported Eriksen to a private detention facility in Louisiana, operated by the Trump-supporting GEO Group. He remains jailed with nearly 100 others, mostly non-criminal detainees, as mass detentions rise under Donald Trump’s second term.
His pregnant wife Savannah, now raising their children alone, said ICE never let them say goodbye. “This administration doesn’t care if it’s legal or not,” said immigration attorney Nathalia Rocha Dickson. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 27, but the family’s future remains uncertain.
