Patience Gore, a 44-year-old Zimbabwean national who had lived in the U.S. for about 24 years, was detained by undercover ICE agents at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport after a United Airlines gate agent announced her name over the loudspeaker, according to a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. Gore, who had been granted withholding of removal to Zimbabwe and had no criminal record, was traveling home to Maryland with her partner after attending a friend's wedding when she was surrounded by three plainclothes agents without visible identification and told she was not free to leave. She was held for nearly two weeks in what the lawsuit describes as degrading conditions, including sleeping on a mattress on the floor and being denied a change of clothes, before a federal judge ordered her release. The lawsuit alleges the detention caused her to miss a scheduled IVF treatment, and a subsequent replacement cycle did not result in pregnancy.
