Marlon Andres Torres Gomez, a Colombian national, was granted voluntary departure by an immigration judge and ordered to leave the United States by June 11, 2026. He purchased a one-way plane ticket to Colombia departing June 10 and repeatedly contacted ICE to coordinate his departure. However, ICE detained him and prevented him from boarding the flight. When the June 11 deadline passed, the government argued Torres Gomez was subject to mandatory detention because he had failed to depart. U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz ruled on July 22, 2026, that ICE violated Torres Gomez's due process rights by preventing him from complying with the voluntary departure order and then using that failure as justification for continued detention. The judge ordered his immediate release.
