Judge rules UW lab technician detained for months should not be deported
An immigration judge ruled Thursday that a University of Washington lab technician, who had been detained for months, should not be deported, according to The Seattle Times.
Lewelyn Dixon—a decades-long green card holder who was arrested in February at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac)—could be released in a few hours, the media outlet stated.
“I’m feeling relief, elated, happy,” Dixon said after the hearing, reported The Seattle Times.
Dixon, 64, was held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma since her arrest.
