Aminata Seck, a 26-year-old Senegalese student-athlete, has been detained by ICE at Louisville’s airport while traveling with her basketball team.

She is now facing removal proceedings; her attorney and lawmakers say the arrest underscores ongoing immigration enforcement concerns. Seck has been a standout player in the SIAC, with multiple double-doubles and Elite 16 recognition.
