Wisconsin State Patrol trooper released after ICE detention
On November 8, U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement released Carel Aaron Van Der Merwe, a 21-year-old South African member of the Wisconsin State Patrol, after holding him for a day following his detention at Dane County Regional Airport in Madison.
He was placed under electronic monitoring while his asylum case proceeds. Van Der Merwe had been taken into custody by ICE on November 5 after officials said he had overstayed his admission. He entered the United States as a child and is listed on his father’s asylum application, and immigration authorities said the detention stemmed from an alleged immigration violation.
