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.
- A transgender asylum seeker identified as O-J-M was released from a Washington state ICE detention facility after a federal judge’s order in Oregon on July 15, 2025.
- O-J-M crossed the U.S. border in September 2023 after surviving gender-based violence and faced detention without clear evidence or due process, prompting legal challenges by nonprofit attorneys.
- O-J-M was held over 40 days at an ICE facility in Tacoma, regularly complied with check-ins, was arrested in Portland in early June, and faced dismissal of her immigration case by a judge's order.
- U.S. District Judge Amy Baggio ruled that ICE deprived O-J-M of liberty without procedural due process, while Innovation Law Lab called the release a recognition that she deserves freedom during her ongoing case.
- The release suggests judicial pushback against ICE’s detention practices for vulnerable asylum seekers and may contribute to broader debates about immigration enforcement and due process rights.
