BROPHY, Field Office Director for Detention and Removal, Buffalo Field Office, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Department of Homeland Security; and JOE KOSON, Facility Director, Buffalo Federal Detention Facility, Respondents.

Yu, a native and citizen of China, was ordered removed from the United States to China on March 21, 2017, by a Immigration Judge.
