The 19-year-old Portland, Maine, asylum seeker must be freed from the Dilley, Texas, facility by Friday after being held since November, lawyers and Representative Chellie Pingree said.
Her attorney said ICE kept her detained even after a federal appeals court paused the Congolese family's deportation pending appeal; her mother and younger siblings were released in March.
Andre's case drew broad attention in Maine as Pingree and other Democrats pressed for her release during an oversight visit, while ICE had previously said she had a final removal order.
As court challenges to ICE detention surge, are the legal grounds for holding asylum seekers in the United States fundamentally shifting?
When a court calls detention unlawful but the government issues a removal order, what does justice for an asylum seeker actually look like?
