ICE freed Honduran mother detained in Aurora

A Honduran mother, Carla Medina, was released from ICE custody in Aurora on Monday after being detained for nearly eight months. Her release followed a successful asylum case. Medina was detained in October 2024 while making a DoorDash delivery near Buckley Space Force Base, despite having a work permit. She and her family sought asylum in 2023, citing fear of domestic violence in Honduras. Her release was celebrated by immigration advocacy groups, who emphasized the community support and the importance of respecting human rights for asylum seekers.
