Egyptian apprehended in Minneapolis was handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and held on an administrative immigration violation as an out-of-status student. Also today, two other students surrendered to police in New Jersey on Wednesday, the FBI announced.
"In response to hearing in the media that they should turn themselves in to the nearest police station, they did just that," said Steven Siegel, a spokesman for the FBI's Newark office.
