This is literally insane. The federal court prevented the deportation of a woman who killed
00:00:05.440
her stepson due to concerns with how she would be treated when she went back to Jamaica. I'm not
00:00:11.100
joking, she managed to successfully make the case that her immigration officer failed to properly
00:00:17.280
consider an expert report on how deportees are treated in Jamaica upon their return. And the
00:00:23.160
judge agreed with this. They also added that she would face hardship due to her medical conditions
00:00:28.000
which includes endometriosis, depression and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Now what happened was her then-husband had a son from a previous relationship. He would chain his
00:00:39.220
10-year-old son up to the bed and would repeatedly hit him with a belt and took him out of school for
00:00:44.000
three years and essentially not letting him ever leave his room. And sadly, he was found dead in
00:00:49.640
their home. So both the father and stepmother were convicted of second-degree murder. But due to the
00:00:55.100
lack of mental health support in Jamaica, she will remain here. There's a lot more details to the
