Loved ones shocked, worried after beloved Utah violinist detained by ICE
SALT LAKE CITY — Friends and family are reacting after Utah violinist John Shin was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday.
“Shock — and at the same time, not surprising,” said family friend Gabriel Gordon. "This is the direction that our country has been headed in.”
His wife, DaNae, released the following message on social media:
"On Monday, at 2:30pm I got a call from John-- "Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be okay, please call our attorney" and then he was rushed off the phone. I have no more details, no more information than those short 30 seconds."
“We have not heard a single word from him since that phone call,” Gordon said.

South Korean... Asians have to worry about this as America does not consider them as White Anglo Saxons.
