A Wisconsin sheriff has now sued Illinois woman Sunny Naqvi who claimed in March that she was detained by the US Customs and Border Protection agents at O'Hare International Airport and then was taken to the ICE facility. The alleged detention became national headlines as Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison, a family friend, amplified the incident and demanded her release. When she was released, the Department of Homeland Security released footage showing that Naqvi was allowed to leave the airport about 90 minutes after she landed and she was never detained by ICE.
Now Dodge County sheriff Dale Schmidt filed a defamation lawsuit against Naqvi and Morrison, and outlined evidence he said proves her claims were false. Releasing videos, documents and text messages, Schmidt claimed that there was no verified evidence at all supporting what Naqvi claimed.
