Natalie E., a Colombian woman, won withholding of removal under the Convention against Torture in Arizona and, representing herself, filed a federal petition that secured her release from immigration detention. She moved to Dallas and changed her address with ICE, which confirmed the change. In early April 2026, ICE agents came to her home to verify the address and told her to report to the ICE office in person. There they arrested her, saying they were going to send her to a third country, without naming it. ICE moved her back and forth between two detention centers in Texas, sometimes after one or two nights, and then to Louisiana; during the moves her family could find no record of her in the ICE locator. The day she arrived in Louisiana she was told she would be sent to the Democratic Republic of Congo, and less than 24 hours later she was on the plane, shackled, so she could not challenge the transfer. In Kinshasa she says the uncertainty weighs on her most: she does not speak the language, cannot go back to Colombia, and the International Organization for Migration told her its support ends after 90 days.
