Deaf Mongolian man faces deportation without due process
Posted on Monday, May 26, 2025 2:55 pm

A deaf Mongolian man has spent over 80 days detained at California’s Otay Mesa Detention Center without seeing an immigration judge or accessing a Mongolian Sign Language interpreter, raising due process concerns amid President Donald Trump’s expanded deportation enforcement.

About the man and his case: The detainee, identified only as Bay, reportedly entered the U.S. in February and surrendered immediately to Border Patrol agents while carrying a letter translated into English that requested asylum. Agents, however, rejected the document, refusing to accept it or even look at it, his attorney Andrea Montavon-McKillip told KPBS.
