ICE Detains Restaurant Owner Mom for Over Two Months After 21 Years in US

Kelly Yu, the owner of Kawaii Sushi in Peoria, Arizona, had been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since May following a routine immigration check-in after entering the United States from China illegally decades ago.

Newsweek reached out to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security via email for comment.

A member of Yu's family emailed Newsweek, saying that at this time they are not speaking to the media, adding: "We truly appreciate your support and understanding."
