Harsono had a pending green card application through his U.S. citizen wife.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Sarah Mazzie denied a motion to dismiss the case on humanitarian grounds, allowing removal proceedings to continue. Harsono\u2019s next immigration hearing is scheduled for May 1.<\/p>\n<p>According to his attorney, DHS cited a 2022 misdemeanor graffiti conviction as the basis for the visa revocation, which she argues is not a deportable offense. Additional DHS evidence included a 2021 protest arrest, which was dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department have not responded to media requests. ICE records confirm Harsono is detained at Kandiyohi County Jail.<\/p>\n<p>The case has raised concerns about transparency and due process in student visa enforcement. Harsono\u2019s wife, Peyton, says his arrest has left the family \u2014 including their 8-month-old daughter with special needs \u2014 in financial and emotional distress. His bond was granted but immediately appealed by DHS, triggering an automatic stay.<\/p>\n<p>Harsono&#8217;s detention follows broader reports of student visa revocations across the country. Over 900 students at more than 120 universities have reportedly had visas canceled since mid-March.<\/p>\n<p>Gad is pursuing a federal petition and temporary restraining order seeking his release.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Indonesian man, Aditya Wahyu Harsono, 33, remains in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after being detained at his workplace, a hospital in Minnesota, following the secret revocation of his F-1 student visa.
