Hajia4Real to be flown back to Ghana after jail term with no ICE Detention

After receiving a one-year, one-day sentence, Ghanaian socialite Hajia4Real is expected to be flown back to Ghana with no ICE Detention.

The Judge while reading the verdict said:

Judge: I sentence Ms Montrage to one year and one day in prison, the extra day to allow “good time.”

Defense: We propose she be allowed to fly back to Ghana as soon as she is released, with no ICE detention

AUSA: We consent Adjourned

What Is ICE Dentention?

Detention is non-punitive. Once a noncitizen is transferred to ICE custody, the agency makes a custody determination. ICE uses its limited detention resources to detain noncitizens to secure their presence for immigration proceedings or removal from the United States — as well as those that are subject to mandatory detention, as outlined by the Immigration and Nationality Act, or those that ICE determines are a public safety or flight risk during the custody determination process.

When a noncitizen is not subject to mandatory detention or is not deemed to be a public safety or flight risk, ICE exercises its discretion in making custody determinations to release noncitizens with conditions. These custody decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and after considering the totality of circumstances — primarily considering risk of flight, national security threat and risk to public safety.

ICE also takes other factors into consideration — including when a noncitizen has a serious medical condition, is the primary caregiver of minor children, or other humanitarian considerations.
