Transgender asylum seeker released from ICE custody following order from federal judge in Oregon

OREGON, UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – A federal judge ruled that ICE deprived a transgender asylum seeker of due process during her detention, leading to her release after more than 40 days in custody, attorneys said.

  • On Tuesday, O-J-M was released from the ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington after a federal judge’s Monday order.
  • After fleeing cartel violence in September 2023, O-J-M regularly checked in with ICE as instructed.
  • U.S. District Judge Amy Baggio cited due process omissions, while Innovation Law Lab said `now home with her family`.
  • Advocates said `No one should be punished for seeking safety`, highlighting support for O-J-M's release and emphasizing the importance of due process in immigration cases.
  • Such rulings could influence future detention policies and highlight protections needed for vulnerable asylum seekers.
