Utah Violinist Donggin Shin — who goes by John — was arrested and detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Colorado on Aug. 18. His wife, DaNae Shin, set up a GoFundMe Page featuring this family photo to help raise money to cover his legal fees. “I am calling upon all string players in Salt Lake City to unite in support of our fellow musician John Shin, who has been detained by ICE,” wrote violist Eugene Dyson on Facebook. Shin, whose case is scheduled for a hearing on Sept. 2, isn’t the only artist apprehended by ICE this year. And Jane Eugene, a British vocalist best known as a founding member of the 1980s R&B band Loose Ends was recently detained by ICE for overstaying her visa.
