Hospital Worker Detained at Syracuse Airport

Another Upstate Medical University worker, Dame Ka, was detained by ICE at Syracuse Airport while en route to Atlanta for the World Cup — the fourth such incident in a year. Though released with an ankle monitor and a court date set for July 1, he’s left shaken, fearing stigma as an asylum seeker fleeing Senegal’s harsh LGBTQ+ laws. His union, the Civil Service Employee Association, stands firmly by him, reminding everyone these are hardworking neighbors deserving dignity and legal protection — echoing past detentions of fellow environmental staff. The airport authority sidesteps responsibility, citing ICE’s jurisdiction, while ICE remains silent on the latest case, leaving workers in limbo and anxious about their futures.
