A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to return a Colombian woman to the U.S. after ruling her deportation to the Democratic Republic of Congo was likely illegal.

•⁠ ⁠Adriana Maria Quiroz Zapata was deported to Congo despite the country reportedly refusing to accept her over serious medical conditions.

•⁠ ⁠The judge ruled U.S. law only allows deportations to third countries if they agree to accept the migrant.

•⁠ ⁠Zapata had previously been protected from deportation to Colombia after a judge found she would likely face torture there.
