Maria Loya Medina was detained by federal agents in January. Her legal team filed a second habeas petition after they said she was hastily labeled a flight risk. ALBANY, Ore. — An Albany mother, out buying socks for her son, was picked up by federal agents in January. After more than two months in ICE detention, her attorneys are urging immigration officials to release her, and now, some elected leaders are joining their calls. 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. Originally from Mexico, she works as a house cleaner. Her attorneys say she has no criminal record, and that on the day of her arrest, agents were not even looking for her. "Maria Loya Medina is a mother, a wife, a caregiver, and even an active member of her church community," said Jose Miranda, her attorney. "The story starts on January 10th, when Maria was out buying socks for her son's soccer game at a local sporting goods store. And without warning, federal agents swarmed her car, smashed her window, and arrested her... They were surveilling the community and arrested her anyway. They presented no warrant. They just presented intimidation and aggression." Loya Medina's 16-year-old son told the Albany City Council a few weeks later that his mother's detention was hurting their family. "My goal tonight is to share my perspective and advocate for the Hispanic community in Albany that has recently been affected by the prominent presence of ICE groups," he said. In February, Miranda says an immigration judge labeled Loya Medina a flight risk and issued a "no bond" order. "The hearing lasted 15 minutes. It was not recorded. No transcript exists," Miranda said. Now, her legal team is asking a federal judge to order Loya Medina's immediate release, or to hear her case again, so she can return to her two children, and her husband — who recently suffered a stroke and underwent heart surgery. The habeas petition they've filed argues the government violated Loya Medina's right to due process from Fifth Amendment and violated the Immigration and Nationality Act. Oregon Representatives Suzanne Bonamici and Janelle Bynum, in a letter to ICE officials Friday, demanded her release as well. "Immigration detention is not supposed to be about punishment, right? It's supposed to ensure, for example, that someone participates in their legal proceedings, which Ms. Loya is fully ready to do. And we've made that clear to the government. But DHS and the immigration court are not applying the law here," Miranda said. KGW reached out to DHS and to ICE for a comment. A DHS spokesperson provided this statement to KGW: "“On January 10, ICE conducted a targeted vehicle stop to arrest Maria Trinidad Loya-Medina, an illegal alien from Mexico. She was previously removed from the U.S. She chose to commit a felony and illegally re-enter the U.S. at an unknown location and date. She received full due process, and an immigration judge determined that she was a flight risk. “Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.”
