ThinkProgress examines Audemio Orozco-Ramirez's impending deportation after five months in detention. The article presents ICE's account of his immigration history and its denial that an assault occurred, Shahid Haque's evidence about missing video, the family's dependence on Audemio, and the broader Trump-era expansion of deportation targets.
The national coverage placed Audemio alongside other longtime residents and advocates detained under the administration's new priorities. It also preserved both the government's response and Shahid's contention that official rejection of the assault did not explain the gaps in the evidence.
