U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detains Mississippi Valley State men’s basketball player Qingfang Pang, who is held in Louisiana, according to multiple outlets. The reports say he is in an ICE detention facility in Richwood, at the Richwood Correctional Center.
Outlets cite the reason for his detention as an immigration violation involving his student visa. One report states that Pang is detained for overstaying his student visa, while another summarizes the detention as stemming from a visa issue without adding further details. The player recently transferred to Mississippi Valley State from Monroe University in New York, with one account also noting he is an HBCU basketball player after the offseason move. Coverage focuses on his custody location and the asserted visa overstay, while providing limited additional information about proceedings or next steps.
