Greggy Sorio, a 37-year-old lawful permanent resident from the Philippines, was detained at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma, Washington for eleven months, during which he developed severe medical conditions including ulcerative colitis, a bone infection that required toe amputation, and kidney disease due to alleged medical neglect. On December 7, 2025, as he was being deported on a Philippine Airlines flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, union members and Tanggol Migrante activists coordinated to alert the airline of his status as a medical liability. Philippine Airlines subsequently cancelled the deportation flight, stopping his removal.
