Yesterday, The U.S. Supreme Court heard the appeal of a 33-year-old transgender woman from Guatemala who is seeking asylum in a case her attorney calls life or death.
Estrella Santos Zacarias, whose claims of gender violence and discrimination were rejected by American immigration officials, was deported to Mexico in 2019 where she has faced ongoing health and safety challenges, according to a sworn affidavit from her reviewed by ABC News.
As per her affidavit, most recently, she was beaten at a bus stop by three people and, months prior, she was bludgeoned unconscious at her workplace.
Her legal team is seeking a federal court review of an immigration judge's ruling that she had not demonstrated adequate evidence of likely future persecution and therefore didn't qualify for asylum.
