Detained Dreamer Seeks Home | Louisville News

A 21-year-old Congolese immigrant, Armelle Bondonga, was detained during her final green card hearing—despite being a beloved community leader who co-founded Future Ancestors and is now married to a U.S. citizen with a U.S. citizen child. Her legal team argues her case has evolved since childhood asylum proceedings, and she poses no flight risk. Detention has shattered her family and community, with advocates calling it inhumane. ICE claims she overstayed her visa for over a decade, offering financial aid and free flights to self-deport. But the outpouring of support proves her deep roots in Louisville—and her husband’s plea remains simple: bring her home.
