Anna Sorokin, the fake heiress Netflix's 'Inventing Anna' is based on, was released from ICE detention on Friday.
NEW YORK --
"We are grateful that the Court agreed that her continued detention is unnecessary," Sandweg said in a statement Friday. ICE took custody of Sorokin on March 25, 2021. In November, the Board of Immigration Appeals granted an emergency stay in her case, according to ICE. She's been fighting her deportation -- and also joined a group of plaintiffs suing the agency earlier this year, alleging they'd requested and been denied Covid booster shots while in custody. They dropped their lawsuit in March after receiving the shots, according to court records.
