"Flora was allegedly lured to the US under false promises and faced severe abuse, including repeated rape and forced labor, after her arrival."
"Her lawyers argue that her detention violates her rights to due process, as she was not given an opportunity to be heard before being deprived of liberty."
"The woman’s alleged trafficker remains free, while she faces potential deportation despite her pending asylum and trafficking visa applications."
A Venezuelan mother, referred to as Flora, was trafficked to the US and unlawfully detained by ICE after a routine check-in. She has pending applications for asylum and a trafficking visa. Flora was separated from her two young children and alleges severe abuse by her trafficker. Her lawyers claim her due process rights were violated, as she was not considered a flight risk or danger. A habeas corpus petition has been filed, seeking her immediate release and challenging her detention.
