In an order signed Wednesday by Judge Jeffrey M. Bryan, Doğukan Günaydın, a University of Minnesota student, is to be released from custody and a notice confirming his release must be filed by 4 p.m. Thursday.

The federal judge ruled that his detention violates his procedural due process rights under the Fifth Amendment.

Günaydın, who is a Turkish citizen, has been detained in the Sherburne County Jail since March 27. 

The Department of Homeland Security was seeking to deport Günaydın because of a drunk driving conviction. Günaydın, 28, pleaded guilty to gross misdemeanor DWI last year following a June 2023 incident in Minneapolis.
