A federal judge temporarily blocked the deportation of eight asylum-seekers on Thursday, but the move was too late for one woman who her lawyers believe has already been deported by the Trump administration.
Despite seeking asylum in the United States to escape a violent former partner, according to her legal team, the woman was sent back to Ecuador this week -- just hours before a court blocked her deportation -- where her lawyers fear she might be killed.
"Plaintiff N.S. fled Ecuador to escape horrific violence and kidnapping by her former partner—a police officer who called her anti-indigenous slurs while raping her, beating her, and holding his gun to her head—and fears that he will kill her if she is removed," her lawyers wrote in a filing to the court, adding that the woman was held captive by her former partner.
Her rapid removal comes as immigrant advocates raise concerns that the Trump administration is hastily carrying out deportations of migrants while disregarding their asylum claims and in spite of active litigation to stop their removals.
According to court records, the woman entered the U.S. around Jan. 26 and asked for asylum after turning herself in to immigration officials. But as of Wednesday, court records show she had not received a "credible fear" interview, one of the first steps in determining eligibility for asylum.

Just send her back with a gun
We were not the first safe country she came to. send her home. she can try again propperly.
I’m waiting for ABC to qualify her claims by including “without evidence”; like they do for everything Trump says...
Well done,ICE!
Domestic violence???? This is an Ecuadorian law enforcement issue if anything. Not a US problem.
A great idea
Super Fast Deportations. You get busted and put on a plane back within hours.
“We were not the first safe country she came to. send her home. she can try again propperly.”
Exactly. Not. Our. Problem.
She was here to live off of US taxpayers. Everyone has boyfriends and her boyfriend could be in the US or anywhere else in between.
We really need to do some changes to the asylum law. We need to limit the excuses that can be used.
Oh no! What’s for lunch...
The reward is basically permanent refugee status and US residency. All she had to do was spin a tale.
No one would ever flat out lie in that circumstance, would they? /s
I don’t know if what she says is true or not, but then, neither does ABC. However, I didn’t plaster the story everywhere without confirming it’s true, either. I have zero confidence in anything ABC says.
There are seven countries in between the United States and Ecuador. Send her back.
Claimed SPOUSAL ABUSE is grounds for asylum?
WTF are we doing?
That is not a reason to leave her home country and seek asylum. Did her dog eat her homework?
On the face of it her asylum claim is absurd, she should have never been in the U.S. in the first place. She should have been turned around at the border or airport.
Since when is asylum granted for domestic abuse?
And, if she fled Ecuador, then she should have been stopped in Mexico.
These refugees and asylum seekers are coached as to what to say to get around US immigration laws - that they face abuse, threats or are in fear of their lives if they are returned.
We are not the world’s dumping ground for the 3rd world and the ones that are here cost us billions, as Musk is uncovering.
She can apply the right way now
Buh-bye
