Homeland Security secretary attacks federal judge in Oregon over transgender asylum seeker’s release
OREGON AND WASHINGTON, JUL 18 – Federal judge ruled ICE violated due process by failing to update the transgender asylum seeker’s legal status, prompting release despite DHS opposition citing safety and policy concerns.
- On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Amy Baggio ordered the release of Odalis Jhonatan Martinez-Velasquez, citing due process violations in her detention at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma.
- Innovation Law Lab filed a habeas petition challenging the detention, with a judge finding due process violations after ICE failed to provide timely location and legal status updates.
- DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin cited `caving` to activists, while DHS accused the judge of promoting `gender ideology fanaticism`.
- McLaughlin warned that the ruling undermines ICE’s commitment to safe, secure, and humane environments for women in custody, citing `gender ideology fanaticism` as a dangerous influence.
- Amid unresolved questions, DHS has not clarified how it will respond, as the case follows Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration and plans for extensive deportations.
