Velázquez Statement on Xiuqing You

Washington, DC – Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) released the following statement regarding Xiuqing You, a Queens father who was detained when he appeared for his green card interview:

"By all accounts, Mr. You is an upstanding community member who is gainfully employed and has worked tirelessly to support his family. It is unconscionable that ICE would detain him as he appeared for a regularly scheduled adjustment of status interview. I will be joining with my colleagues in the New York City delegation to get to the bottom of this case and press for Mr. You's fair treatment and release."
