SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 6 – A Honduran woman with a pending U-Visa application who was detained by ICE on June 4 has filed a habeas corpus petition in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York courthouse on June 6, where Inner City Press found it.

  The complaint recounts how at a required check-in at the ICE contract who oversees her supervised release she was separated from her attorney. It says she fled to the US in 2025, to escape "her abusive husband in Honduras." In 2021 she complained to NYPD of an attempted rape and cooperated; she applied for a U-Visa.

  On June 2 she got an automated message to appear at the ISAP office on June 3 on June 4. She did, and was detained - and now does not appear in the ICE online detainee locator system.

Her name is Candida Ramirez Lopez.

 The case is Ramirez Lopez v. Trump, et al., 1:25-cv-4826 (Unassigned)
