Trump admin ordered to return woman deported to Africa: report
Judge Richard J. Leon said the deportation likely violated immigration law and left the 55-year-old migrant facing daily medical risk.
- On Wednesday, District Court Judge Richard Leon ordered the Trump administration to return Adriana Maria Quiroz Zapata to the United States as soon as possible, finding the deportation likely violated U.S. law.
- Authorities deported Quiroz Zapata to the DRC in April despite the country's refusal to accept her due to inability to provide medical care for her diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypothyroidism.
- Judge Leon cited Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, wrongfully deported to El Salvador last year, as precedent for correcting deportation errors and preventing irreparable harm.
- The court mandated the Trump administration provide a status update by 5 p.m. Friday on steps taken to facilitate Quiroz Zapata's return to the United States.
- Lawyer Lauren O'Neal stated that holding the executive branch accountable is essential to ensure proper oversight and end abuses of the administration's "third country" deportation policy.
