Indian Jazz Guitarist Pritesh Walia Detained by ICE in Los Angeles

Walia is being held at the Adelanto Processing Center, a detention facility in San Bernardino County, according to his family and legal representatives.

His lawyers are working to secure his release, though no timeline has been given for when he might be freed or what charges or immigration violations led to his detention.

The guitarist, known for his work in the jazz scene, has family members who have been in contact with authorities and are pressing for his swift return.

The case has drawn attention to the broader issue of immigration enforcement actions against artists and other professionals in the U.S.
