Spencer H.: Husband of U.S. citizen arrested at green card interview, ankle-monitored by ICE

A Canadian man living in the U.S. since 2019 was arrested at his green card interview and held until a judge freed him on bond. He now challenges being placed on an ankle monitor despite that ruling.

Dec 18, 2025Country of origin: Canada

A Canadian citizen residing in the U.S. since 2019 was arrested on December 18, 2025 during a USCIS interview for his green card application based on marriage to a U.S. citizen. He remained detained until February 3, 2026 when an immigration judge released him on bond, finding he posed no flight risk or danger. Despite the judge's determination, ICE placed him on an ankle monitor and in intensive supervision, prompting his habeas petition challenging the conditions as violating his due process rights.
