Footage shows Australian man handcuffed by ICE agents at Las Vegas airport
A 57-year-old Australian citizen was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at a Las Vegas airport. He was later arrested for overstaying his visa and is currently held at an ICE processing centre in California.
Footage released this week shows a 57-year-old Australian citizen being handcuffed by ICE agents at a Las Vegas airport. The incident came amid a broader tightening of immigration enforcement across the US.
Officials confirmed the man was later arrested for overstaying his visa and remains held at an ICE processing centre in California. Australia's government said it was providing consular assistance to the citizen.
The incident has reignited debate in Australia over how US immigration enforcement affects foreign visitors. Canberra said it was in contact with US authorities to help prevent similar cases.
