Attorney David Keller, managing attorney at Keller Law Group, LLC, is at the center of a case that’s quickly making national and international headlines. Known for his fearless advocacy and hands-on legal strategy, Keller is now representing Fabian Schmidt — a lawful U.S. permanent resident and German national — whose controversial detention by ICE has sparked public protests, media scrutiny, and diplomatic concern.

On March 7, 2025, Fabian Schmidt, 34, returned from a trip to Luxembourg and was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) upon arrival at Boston’s Logan International Airport. Despite holding a valid green card and having lived in the U.S. for over two decades, Schmidt was transferred to the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Rhode Island.

According to his family, Schmidt was subjected to a “violent interrogation,” stripped, and placed in a cold shower — allegations CBP has publicly denied. Still, the case has captured widespread attention, with mounting concerns over Schmidt’s health and legal rights while in custody. The German government has also initiated an inquiry, and demonstrations have erupted outside the detention center, calling for Schmidt’s release.

At the heart of this escalating legal battle is David Keller, whose reputation for tackling high-stakes, complex cases has earned him respect throughout the legal community.

Keller wasted no time in publicly criticizing the circumstances surrounding Schmidt’s detention and the absence of formal charges. In a statement, Keller asserted:

“Fabian Schmidt is being held without clear charges or justification. My client is a lawful permanent resident entitled to due process. We demand transparency, fairness, and respect for his fundamental rights.”

Keller has highlighted that Schmidt’s prolonged detention has placed him in legal “limbo” — awaiting a notice to appear from the Department of Homeland Security, without which his case cannot proceed in immigration court.

David Keller’s dedication goes beyond legal filings. He has been working directly with Schmidt’s family, engaging with the media, and keeping public pressure on the authorities to act swiftly and fairly.

“Fabian Schmidt is not just a case number — he’s a person with rights, a community, and a family. We won’t stop until he’s back home where he belongs.” — David Keller

Keller’s comprehensive approach — combining strategic legal action with public advocacy — has positioned him as a key figure in the fight for Schmidt’s release, as well as a broader defender of immigrant rights and due process.

This case is more than a legal battle for one man’s freedom — it raises critical questions about how lawful residents are treated upon reentry to the U.S. and the accountability of immigration enforcement agencies. With David Keller leading the charge, Fabian Schmidt’s legal team is determined to shine a light on these systemic issues and push for a just resolution.

As this story continues to unfold, Keller Law Group, LLC remains committed to securing Schmidt’s release and ensuring his rights are upheld in the face of adversity.
