Spa Retreat Instead of Jail: Sundas Naqvi Faces $1 Million Lawsuit
Sundas 'Sunny' Naqvi, an Illinois resident, is facing a $1 million defamation lawsuit after fabricating a story about being illegally detained by immigration authorities. Dodge County, Wisconsin Sheriff Dale J. Schmidt filed the lawsuit, asserting that Naqvi spread misinformation that damaged the reputation of public agencies. Concrete data proves that instead of being held in custody as alleged, she was enjoying spa services and luxury hotel accommodations.
Previously, Naqvi claimed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents held her for 43 hours following a flight from Turkey. However, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Naqvi left the inspection area at Chicago O’Hare Airport after just 90 minutes. Local jail records also show no detention orders related to her.
Ironclad Evidence Debunks the Lies
Sheriff Schmidt released evidence including hotel receipts and personal location data. During the time she claimed to be in detention, Naqvi actually checked into a hotel near the airport, used the gym, and enjoyed high-end dining. Gas station security cameras also captured images of her moving freely in the early hours of March 7, the exact time she claimed to be in solitary confinement.
Police are pursuing a civil lawsuit to establish accountability and seek damages for the harm caused to the department's reputation.
