Danish man living in Mississippi detained by ICE at naturalization meeting
Mississippi Today ^ | May 20, 2025 | Emily Wagster Pettus

A Danish man living in Mississippi for a dozen years has been imprisoned in Louisiana for more than a month after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers took him into custody because of a “paperwork miscommunication” during his effort to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, his wife says..........................

......For years, Kasper went through the process of trying to become a U.S. citizen, and Savannah Eriksen – now homeschooling their children and pregnant with their fifth baby, due in August – said her husband’s move toward citizenship appeared to be on track. He received notice last September that his naturalization application was being reviewed, and records from the U.S. government raised no questions about his paperwork, Savannah said.

Kasper and Savannah Eriksen went to Memphis, Tennessee, on April 15 so he could be interviewed about naturalization, and she said they were met by ICE agents.

I think this may be a case where ICE has messed up. It appears like this is the “family man” that the press tried to make Abrego Garcia to be...only this guy really is.

Because there were no consequences, I suspect they didn’t try very hard to make sure it happened?

Another example of how “F’d” up immigration as always been in America. This is proof that most “civil servants” don’t know what the hell the last five things they did on the job were.

He might have been “going through the process” without any legal advice, missing court deadlines, not responding to required filings, not appearing for scheduled hearings, etc. There are hundreds of thousands of people naturalized every year. You just have to take it seriously.

Sounds like he failed to get the conditions removed on time, which is necessary.
Did the govt screw up or did he simply decide to ignore the “miscommunication”?
Is there more to the story as to why he didn’t qualify to stay?
Let’s see.

It takes a long time...and lots of money. This was a mess up by ICE.

Stop going after people who are trying, ICE! There are millions of real criminals to gather up. Y’all getting lazy?

I think he’s been busy making tax deductions. Number Five is in the oven and they’ll only need one more.

This has a weird headline. “Danish man living in Mississippi...”. That would usually read “Mississippi man detained by ICE” if he had been a “minority.” I wonder what “Danish man” has to do with it. Oh, I know. He’s white. Man are they white.

I have a relative that is married to a foreign citizen.

They have followed every rule and every step as has been required.

They have turned in every required form and paper before every deadline to the best of their abilities.

But the Immigration people mess up constantly. Losing her whole file twice; sending them documents to be completed that have due dates that are prior to the date the document was sent; sending conflicting information; etc.

It is a total mess with no end in sight.

And has been like that for more than ten years.

I don’t fault the couple at all based on the information provided.

I’m sure it will work out in the end.

If you aren’t diligent, these things can happen.

He came illegally period. Get him and wife out of here. The kids too if they were not born here. We shouldn’t have exception of criminal behavior if someone is European. They are criminals.

A good rule of thumb is make several copies of every file needed for submission, and have one on standby in the likely event that customs loses the original file. Sucks having to start all over from scratch

The f3ckless msm are going to pick up on every case like this to make it look like ice is intentionally going after low hanging fruit, when nothing could be further from the truth. They are ridding this country of violent nasty vicious illegal alien criminals every day- taking their lives in their hands, but the feckless msm won’t report on that fact- nope, they will only report when a case comes up that they can exploit.
