A Johns Hopkins public health researcher was recently arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) while attempting to board a domestic flight. This incident is part of a surge in airport enforcement actions, with reports indicating that the researcher had a valid work permit and an ongoing asylum case. The researcher was subsequently transferred to rural Louisiana, prompting concerns from colleagues and advocacy groups about due process and calls for her immediate release as her coworkers race to secure her return.
