A Moroccan woman fled severe violence and threats from her family because of her sexual orientation. Although a U.S. immigration judge granted her protection from removal to Morocco, she was deported to Cameroon. She ultimately returned to Morocco because she believed she had no viable alternative and now reportedly lives in hiding, fearing renewed violence from her family.
