Go, daughter Rev. Kyrie Kim – The first woman consecrated in the diocese in the soul of the Korea’s Anglican Church – was 31. The court granted her a sequel until October, but ICE agents detained it immediately in front of the court building.
Episcopal dioceses in New York and several groups of advocacy require her immediate release and claim that GO is legally residing in the US and that the immigration authorities have acted incorrectly.

Her legal stay was reportedly prolonged in 2023 and remains valid until the end of 2025. However, immigration officials have interpreted her visa status differently and classified her presence as illegal.
“She followed every legal procedure, appeared in court as needed, and now finds herself behind bars – that’s unacceptable,” said a spokesman for the bishop’s diocese.
