SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 27 – An ICE detainees in
the Orange County Jail a month
ago filed a habeus corpus
petition for release amid
Coronavirus.
On April
27 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Katherine Polk Failla
held a proceeding covered by
Inner City Press.
Judge
Failla in detail questioned
Assistant US Attorney Zachary
Bannon, who agreed to provide
further information in
writing, subject to
petitioner's response, for a
ruling Judge Failla projected
making on April 30.
Back on
April 24 in another IC habeus
proceeding covered by Inner
City Press SDNY Judge Analisa
Torres asked AUSA Talia
Kreamer whether ICE has
prohibited any of these jails
from disclosing the number of
detainees tested. This 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."
In her
proceeding on April 27, Judge
Failla to her credit compared
this line to the ICE website,
which listed no C.O. positives
at Orange County. This
elicited the response that 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. This case is Disla v.
Decker, et al., 20-cv-2551
(Failla).
