Transgender asylum seeker released from ICE custody following order from federal judge in Oregon
OREGON, UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Federal judge ruled ICE violated due process by detaining a transgender asylum seeker without timely legal updates, ordering release after over 40 days in an all-male facility.
- On July 14, 2025, a 24-year-old Mexican transgender asylum seeker known as O-J-M was ordered to be released from the Tacoma ICE center by a federal court in Oregon due to violations of her procedural due process rights.
- O-J-M was detained over 40 days after being arrested in early June at a Portland immigration court, following a judge's dismissal of her asylum case.
- Her attorneys state she fled Mexico due to abduction and rape by cartel members targeting her for gender identity, and sought asylum in September 2023 while complying with ICE check-ins.
- U.S. District Judge Amy Baggio ruled that ICE deprived O-J-M of liberty without proper procedural safeguards, noting her confinement in a men's facility with solitary confinement for safety.
- Her release highlights legal challenges surrounding asylum seekers’ rights and detention conditions, emphasizing that seeking asylum is lawful and due process must be ensured.
