The family of a Chicago-area woman is demanding answers after US Customs and Border Protection detained her at O'Hare International Airport and federal authorities denied having her, even as her phone traced to their own facility.
Sundas 'Sunny' Naqvi, a US citizen born in Evanston, Illinois, and resident of Skokie, was detained on the morning of 6 March 2026 upon returning from a trip to Turkey. She was held alongside two other US citizens and three Green Card holders, all travelling with Pakistani passports. Federal authorities denied she was in their custody, even as her phone was traced to the ICE detention facility in Broadview, Illinois, by family and supporters gathered outside.
