An immigration judge granted Kentucky State basketball player Amina Seck a motion to reopen her deportation proceedings in court on Wednesday afternoon, a move that immediately halted her deportation order. This critical decision now makes Seck eligible for a bond hearing, which could lead to her release, according to her attorney Hishem Alsalman, who spoke with The Athletic.
A Path to Release?
Seck, 26, who is a native of Senegal, has been held in federal custody since August 7. The bond hearing, if granted, could see her released from the Grayson County Detention Center in Leitchfield, Kentucky.
What’s Next for Seck
While a bond hearing offers a path to freedom, it is important to note that if Seck is released, she would still be required to continue making appearances in court.
