US EditionFederal judge orders ICE not to remove trans migrant seeking asylum from Washington detention facility
- A federal judge in Oregon order ICE on Tuesday not to move a 24-year-old transgender asylum seeker from a Tacoma detention center after her arrest in Portland.
- The order followed an emergency habeas corpus petition filed to challenge ICE's immediate relocation of the asylum seeker who fled Mexico and is seeking safety in the U.S.
- ICE moved the woman shortly after she filed the petition, asserting the transfer to Tacoma was immediately necessary, but the judge requested explanation by Thursday noon.
- Attorney Jordan Cunnings described ICE's actions as a "dangerous attempt to circumvent due process" and defended the woman's compliance with all asylum and court requirements.
- The order restricts further transfers without court notice, highlighting ongoing legal scrutiny of aggressive ICE deportation tactics and prompting local protests in support of immigrants.
