A federal judge has ordered the release of Ta Eh Doh Lah, a Burmese refugee mother who was detained by ICE while breastfeeding her five-month-old baby and awaiting heart care.⁠
⁠
The court ruled her detention was unlawful, noting she had no criminal record, complied with immigration requirements, and applied to adjust her status on the first day she was eligible. Judge Michael J. Davis also sharply criticized federal authorities for transferring her out of state and missing court deadlines.⁠
⁠
In a separate ruling, the court blocked Operation PARRIS across Minnesota, preventing the arrest or detention of refugees solely because they are awaiting status adjustment.
