SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 24 – Detainees of ICE in
the Bergen, Essex and Orange
County Jails have filed habeus
corpus petitions for
release amid
Coronavirus.
On April
24 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Analisa Torres held a
proceeding covered by Inner
City Press.
She worked
through the questions she had
posed in her order the night
before, including the "use of
testing at each
facility."
On April 24 there
were many questions
unanswered. Judge Torres asked
Assistant US Attorney Talia
Kreamer whether ICE has
prohibited any of these jails
from disclosing the number of
detainees tested. This too was
not answered.
On April
27 Judge Torres issued a TRO
ordering ICE to release the
petitioned, under conditions
she imposed, and to not arrest
them for civil immigration
detention purposes until
further order from her. Judge
Torres stated that "one
correction officer confirmed
infected, and four correction
officers alleged to have been
infected, at the Orange County
Jail."
Later on April 27, another
SDNY Judge compared this line
to the ICE website, which
listed no C.O. positives at
Orange County. But ICE did not
include positives for C.O. at
the facility who do not work
for ICE. Why not? Inner City
Press will continue on this.
The case is Ferreyra, et al.
v. Decker, et al., 20-cv-3170
(Torres).
