Chinese Asylum Seeker Re-detained After Three Years of Compliance
Mar 2026 · China
Xiaofei Wang, a Chinese citizen who fled persecution for his political views and applied for asylum in 2022, was abruptly re-detained by ICE in March 2026 after complying with immigration reporting requirements for over three years. Wang had been released on parole since arriving in September 2022 and has no criminal history. The court granted a preliminary injunction ordering his immediate release, finding his re-detention without a pre-deprivation hearing violated due process rights.
