Indian Brothers Detained by ICE Following USCIS Interview in San Jose

The brothers, whose names have not been released, were taken into custody immediately after their Refugee/Asylee Family Petition interview at the USCIS office in San Jose. The interview was part of their application to bring family members to the United States.

According to immigration officials, the detention was carried out by ICE officers who were present at the USCIS facility. The brothers are now in ICE custody pending further proceedings.

The incident has raised concerns among immigration advocates about the risks of attending USCIS interviews for individuals with pending immigration cases. They advise applicants to seek legal counsel before appearing for such interviews.

USCIS and ICE have not released additional details about the case, citing privacy and ongoing enforcement operations. The brothers' family members have not been identified, and it is unclear if they have legal representation at this time.
