Overview
- Seck posted a $2,500 bond and was released Wednesday after a Memphis immigration judge granted a motion to reopen her removal case.
- The judge said Seck had shown she did not receive a removal notice that DHS says it served in September 2025, which made her eligible for a bond hearing.
- DHS says Seck entered the U.S. on a temporary basis in September 2019 and overstayed her authorized period leading to a prior removal order.
- Her lawyers say she was moved among multiple detention centers, hospitalized, placed in solitary over a knee brace, suffered seizures, and has an ACL injury that needs surgery.
- Seck’s habeas petition remains pending in federal court and her next immigration hearing is scheduled for Nov. 20 as advocates and lawmakers press for medical care and transparency.
