A Filipino detainee in the United States, Greggy Sorio, is set to be deported to the Philippines after the US Immigration Court ordered his removal and ICE denied his stay request. Sorio, who was hospitalized for ulcerative colitis, has been medically cleared for travel back to the Philippines, with the DFA coordinating welfare checks and medical assistance during his confinement. The DFA assured that support will be provided upon his arrival and highlighted previous funding for his legal representation through the Legal Assistance Fund. Philippine diplomats had requested humanitarian consideration to allow Sorio to recover before deportation, but US authorities confirmed he is fit for travel. The Philippine government continues to coordinate with US authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of Filipino citizens facing deportation.
