A transgender woman from Mexico seeking asylum because she fears further abuse if she’s deported will learn her fate on Tuesday.
Job “Estrella” Antonio-Sanchez applied for asylum in October 2012, after she was detained by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, saying she’d been abused and raped from a young age in Mexico because of her transgender status. Judge Dan Trimble of the Stewart Immigration Court in Lumpkin, Georgia, has already denied her asylum petition once. At the time, she was representing herself pro se.
