This is an urgent petition to David Marin, Adelanto ICE Field Director, to release Udoka Nweke on parole so he can access life-saving treatment for his dire mental health condition and suicidality. Udoka, a 29 year old gay man and asylum seeker from Nigeria has been caged in Adelanto Detention facility in California since December of 2016 when he surrendered himself at the San Ysidro port of entry, after a traumatic trek through South and Central America. Following a suicide attempt at Adelanto that led to a two week stay at a mental health facility, Udoka was diagnosed with a severe mental illness.
