Detroiter says ICE agents broke her knee, disputing agency’s account

Her attorneys say substandard care at North Lake could cause irreparable harm, while ICE and Justice Department lawyers dispute how she was injured.

  • A Venezuelan asylum seeker named Yerlys Moreno López was injured during an encounter with ICE agents on May 19 involving a car chase and crash.
  • Moreno López stated that ICE agents forced her to the ground, breaking her knee and causing injuries requiring emergency surgery, which contradicts ICE's claim that her injuries resulted from the crash.
  • At the hospital, Moreno López told doctors she was hurt after exiting her vehicle, supporting her sworn statement describing physical assault by ICE agents.
  • Her attorneys argue for her immediate release due to subpar medical care at the detention facility that could cause irreparable harm.
