Scholar Athlete Detained Then Released | Savannah News

Baseball star Johan Sandoval, a Dominican scholarship player at Savannah State, was detained by ICE but is now out on a $20K bond, wearing an ankle monitor in upstate New York. Despite claims of a “targeted operation” and attempted escape, his lawyer and university president say this was likely an administrative error — especially since Johan’s stellar performance earned him All-Conference honors and MVP status. His girlfriend’s social media posts and family fundraising efforts have fueled public outcry, with advocates calling the detention unjust. Though his case isn’t over, his attorney remains hopeful he’ll return to campus for fall semester. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
