US citizen Sunny Naqvi detained by DHS for 43 hours because of 'curious travel history'

Sundas (Sunny) Naqvi, a 28-year-old South Asian-origin US citizen, was detained by the Department of Homeland Security for 43 hours over what her attorney believed was a "curious travel history". ABC News reported that Sunny Naqvi was born in Evanston and raised in the Chicago suburbs. She was scheduled to travel overseas for a work trip with five other people. The group of six comprised three US citizens, including Sunny and three Green Card holders. All six of them were detained.

The trip was canceled after the three Green Card holders, who have Pakistani passports, were turned back during their layover in Istanbul due to visa issues.
