Convicted felon Anna Sorokin may soon be strolling down New York City streets a free woman after a judge granted her bond Wednesday while her deportation case winds through immigration court.

The social grifter, whose cons inspired the hit Netflix series "Inventing Anna," has been locked up for 17 months while fighting a deportation order for overstaying her visa.  "The government failed to demonstrate that she posed such a threat to public safety that the only possible solution is to lock her up in jail," her immigration lawyer John Sandweg told Fox News Digital.  "This doesn’t mean the deportation case stops.The government will continue to press for Ms.

Sorokin’s deportation," he added.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement may still appeal the decision, which could delay her release. The court held a two-day bond hearing last month after Sorokin’s lawyers asked a federal judge to force immigration officials to release her arguing that her indefinite incarceration has trampled on her constitutional rights.
