A Zimbabwean asylum seeker who was ordered removed in 2005 but was granted a withholding of removal after an immigration judge found she would likely face persecution in Zimbabwe was arrested without a warrant by ICE during a scheduled check-in appointment in San Francisco on August 14, 2026. ICE informed her that she would be removed to Cameroon, a third country, rather than Zimbabwe. She suffers from diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and schizophrenia, all requiring daily medication she may not have access to in detention. She filed a habeas corpus petition and sought a temporary restraining order seeking release pending a hearing on whether her detention is lawful, and to object to being removed to a third country without a hearing. The court granted the TRO, ordering her immediate release from custody and barring her detention or removal without a pre-detention hearing before a neutral decisionmaker. The court also barred her transfer out of the district without prior approval and set a briefing schedule and hearing for September 10, 2026 on whether a preliminary injunction should issue.
