A Houston ISD student from Russia was detained by federal agents despite being in the US legally. The 18-year-old student, Alim Garipov, was arrested on July 17 and released three days later. His detention was related to an overstayed visa, but he has a pending asylum case.

Immigration experts view Garipov's detention as an example of the broader scope of enforcement under the current administration. Further details about the case are available from Houston Public Media. For more information on Garipov's case and its implications, readers can refer to the original report from Houston Public Media.
