Colorado Update: Boulder Police Investigate Deadly Stabbing Incident

Rewritten Article:

A bustling crowd of around 20 individuals gathered outside the Aurora detention center, rallying for the immediate release of Carla Medina - a hardworking Honduran mom who's been locked up for over half a year now. The incident stirring up this public outcry? Delivering a DoorDash order to Buckley Space Force Base, leading to her unforeseen detainment by federal immigration officials.

Despite scoring a well-deserved asylum victory in court just yesterday, Medina, much to her dismay, is yet to set foot outside the detention facility. The reason? The government might still file an appeal, particularly focusing on Medina's late application for asylum, which typically must be submitted within a year of entering the U.S. However, what tipped the scales in her favor was the judge's ruling that "extraordinary circumstances" existed, legitimizing her tardy application[1].

In an unexpected turn of events, Medina's asylum victory seems to be hanging by a thin thread, with her supporters keeping a watchful eye on the government's potential next move. As the situation unfolds, they raise their voices, echoing their demand for justice and Medina's swift release.
