Indian musician released on bond after 14 days in US immigration custody
India Today reports that Indian musician Pritesh Walia has been released on bond after 14 days in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention. He said he feels "completely broken" at times and remains uncertain about what will happen to him.
Detained by ICE on August 2, Walia announced his release on bond in a video shared on social media. The New Delhi-born musician described detention as one of the most difficult experiences of his life.
"It's something I would not wish on anyone," Walia said, while thanking his family, girlfriend, lawyer and members of the music community who supported him during the ordeal.
After his arrest on August 2, Walia was taken to the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California. Liza had earlier used Walia's Instagram account to inform his followers about the detention. https://www.instagram.com/p/Db2Fwf7vwiK/
