As discussions continue following the recent increase in ICE operations in the U.S. and the death of a woman during the detention process in Minnesota, the fact that Uğurcan Arda, who moved to the U.S. with a Green Card about 4.5 years ago and has been living in the Seattle/Bellevue area, has not been heard from for about a month has raised concerns among his family.
