Two women from a country in Central Africa, both granted withholding of removal, filed and won habeas cases without lawyers; federal courts found their detention unlawful and ordered them released. One said, "I knew God had kept me safe and gave me a second chance to be happy at my age." Later ICE called one to say her ankle monitor needed checking and the other to say she needed to pick up a document. When they arrived, agents detained them; one says she was pushed against a wall and zip-tied and told she was being sent "somewhere better than here." ICE deported both women to an African country they are not from, which then deported them to their country of origin, where a U.S. immigration judge had found they would face persecution. An advocate shared their stories with Human Rights First.
