"Black immigrants are rarely the face of news reports about asylum seekers; their realities are often ignored by mainstream immigrant rights organizations that tend to frame immigration as a Latinx issue. Udoka Nweke, a gay Nigerian immigrant, is among those whose stories have been overlooked. But thanks to a growing movement—coming to a head today, the first day of LGBTQ Pride Month, with a press conference on his case—his story is finally garnering public attention.
Nweke has been detained in California’s deadly Adelanto Detention Center for 15 months. His layered identities make him subject to additional barriers and abuses in the detention system, outlined in a recent petition created by advocacy groups on his behalf. Held in front of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s field office in Santa Ana, California, the press conference is calling for the 29-year-old asylum seeker’s release."
