Maria Loya Medina, a 44-year-old mother of two U.S. citizens, was detained by ICE agents on January 10, 2026, in an Albany, Oregon parking lot during Operation Black Rose. She has been held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Washington for over two months. After being denied bond at a February 4 hearing, her attorneys with Innovation Law Lab filed a habeas corpus petition on March 6, 2026, arguing violations of her Fifth Amendment due process rights and the Immigration and Nationality Act. The petition emphasizes her strong community ties, employment history, family responsibilities including caring for her stroke-afflicted husband, and lack of flight risk or danger to the community. Medina has resided in the United States since 2005.
