A Bangladeshi chemistry professor, living in the United States, was detained for deportation by two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials from his house in Lawrence, Kansas on January 24.
Syed Ahmed Jamal, who had barely stepped out of home to drop his daughter at school, was taken away in handcuffs before he could say goodbye to his other two children and wife.
He was taken to a detention centre where he will be held pending his deportation to Bangladesh.
The incident has shocked the local community in Kansas City, where Ahmed has lived for over 30 years.
His friends and locals have launched a signature campaign on the popular petition website Change.org to halt his deportation. More than 18,000 people have signed the petition so far.
