ICE arrests 23-year-old UC Berkeley student and asylum seeker at San Francisco airport
UC Berkeley and legal advocates are challenging the arrest as unconstitutional while the student remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
- On Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 23-year-old UC Berkeley student Paula Valentina Albornoz Hernandez at San Francisco International Airport while she waited to board a flight to Portland.
- Albornoz Hernandez, a Colombian national, was detained for a visa overstay despite holding a pending asylum application based on experiencing "severe gender-based violence" in Colombia, amid the 45-day "Operation Safe California."
- Attorney Nikolas De Bremaeker of Centro Legal de la Raza filed a federal habeas corpus petition challenging the detention, while UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons wrote a letter calling her "one of our outstanding students."
- Albornoz Hernandez is held at the California City Detention Center in Kern County and is reportedly "struggling" from custody conditions, prompting campus and local leadership to mobilize legal support for her release.
- Her detention follows a recent surge in Bay Area ICE arrests possibly tied to a reported nationwide quota of 3,000 daily apprehensions, marking the first active UC Berkeley student detained during the current administration's deportation push.
