Drug war whistleblower Royina Garma returns to PH after US detention
Garma left the country in November 2024, days after publicly confirming the existence of former president Rodrigo Duterte’s so-called Davao Death Squad and the reward system tied to his bloody drug war.
She was apprehended upon arrival in San Francisco and detained at the South Louisiana Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Processing Center while seeking political asylum.
Her asylum bid was denied, and she was placed under US custody for eight months before her return.
