Same legal group that challenged Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy secured migrant’s release from Washington facility.
A federal judge in Oregon has ordered the immediate release of a 24-year-old migrant from Mexico who was arrested after a routine asylum hearing and then held in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility for nearly a month
Judge Michael H. Simon ordered the migrant, known as Y-Z-L-H, be released from custody, arguing the government had no right to detain him given his temporary legal status, or parole, was still valid through July 2025, according to The Oregonian.

Simon granted the man’s habeas petition, finding that ICE officers had unlawfully and without justification detained the man in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.
The migrant came to the U.S. in July 2023 and claimed he had been threatened by the violent Mexican cartel Familia Michoacana. U.S. officials let him stay temporarily on humanitarian grounds and applied for asylum about a year ago.
On June 5, he went to Portland Immigration Court for an asylum hearing and asked for more time to find a lawyer.
The government moved to dismiss his asylum case and the judge granted the dismissal over his objection. The migrant is still appealing this decision. As soon as he walked out of the courtroom, he was arrested by ICE agents and taken to Tacoma detention facility in Washington state.
