Maria Loya Medina was detained by federal agents in January. Her legal team has been fighting for her freedom since then. OREGON, USA — An Albany mother who was detained by Immigrations and Custom Enforcement and taken to Tacoma, Washington nearly four months ago was freed from custody Friday morning. Maria Loya Medina is a 44-year-old mother, who has lived in the United States for more than 21 years and in Oregon for nearly a decade. She was out buying socks for her son on Jan. 10 when she was stopped and arrested by federal agents. That was the start of a four-month-long fight for her family and legal team. On Thursday, May 7, it was determined that an immigration judge who previously heard Medina's case had violated her constitutional rights to due process by refusing to provide a fair bond hearing. Judge Grady J. Leupold with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington ordered she be released at 5 p.m., however ICE didn't comply with the order until Friday morning, according to the Innovation Law Lab. "While ICE operates a 24/7 arrest machine, it only bothers to comply with the Constitution and court orders during banker’s hours," co-counsel Stephen W. Manning said about the release. Medina's immigration case remains on appeal, but her family still found Thursday's hearing to be a huge relief. "We are grateful that my wife finally got the justice she deserved. My children and I will be complete with my wife at home. Truly, I have no words to describe how happy we are," said Medina's husband. Her case even drew the attention of Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, who previously visited Medina at the Tacoma ICE facility. Bonamici released the following statement: "I’m grateful that Maria will finally be home with her family and will begin to recover from the anxiety caused by this egregious ICE overreach. Like too many others across the country, Maria has had her life completely disrupted by the President’s illegal and aggressive tactics. I will continue to fight these inhumane policies and actions with policy and protest and in the legal system." Bonamici said she heard of the case from Medina's sister-in-law at a town hall meeting, adding that Medina's children are struggling to keep up in school and take care of their father, who had surgery after his wife was detained and needs ongoing care. KGW reached out to DHS for a comment. DHS's statement said, in part, that Medina had previously been removed from the U.S. and illegally reentered the country. DHS also said ICE released her "in accordance with all safe release directives as soon as it was notified to do so."
