Anna Sorokin, the fake heiress Netflix’s “Inventing Anna” is based on, was released from ICE detention on Friday
. Juda Engelmayer, a spokesman for Sorokin, confirmed her release in an email to CNN Friday night. “She will remain under the supervision of ICE, but will be able to fight her deportation free from physical custody,” said John Sandweg, a former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement who’s on Sorokin’s legal team. Immigration Judge Charles Conroy cleared the way for Sorokin’s release earlier this week, setting her bond at $10,000 and requiring her to follow certain conditions.
Sorokin was released from jail in February 2021 after serving nearly four years on theft and larceny charges. But it wasn’t long before she ended up back behind bars. ICE took custody of Sorokin on March 25, 2021. In November, the Board of Immigration Appeals granted an emergency stay in her case, according to ICE.
