Congolese Woman Detained After Asylum Denial, Granted Withholding of Removal
Feb 15, 2025
Country of origin: DR Congo
A Congolese woman entered the United States on February 15, 2025 and was placed in removal proceedings. On December 4, 2025, an Immigration Judge denied her asylum application but granted withholding of removal to both Congo and Senegal. She has remained detained since her final order of removal, with no apparent efforts made to remove her to a third country. The court ordered respondents to answer her habeas corpus petition seeking release from custody.
