U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan This one's a real piece of work. Chutkan was born on July 5, 1962 in Kingston, Jamaica. In summer 2017 Chutkan presided over the Imran Awan and Hina Alvi fraud case. In Garza v. Hargan (2017), Chutkan ordered the Office of Refugee Resettlement to allow a girl in its care to have an abortion.[15] That ruling was vacated by a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, reinstated by the full en banc D.C. Circuit, and ultimately mooted by the U.S. Supreme Court.[16] In March 2018, Chutkan certified a class action and ordered the government to provide access to abortions to all girls in ORR's custody.
