COURTHOUSE,
Nov 18 – A woman from Jamaica
has been detained by ICE in 26
Federal Plaza since November 7
and filed a habeas corpus
petition via her life partner
the same day. Inner City Press
is following the case.
This one too: on
November 18 NYC Comptroller
Brad Lander was in the SDNY
courthouse, first on the fifth
floor with his lawyer Ron
Kuby, for a "ticket"
proceeding on 23A later. Inner
City Press aims to live tweet,
even as X does nothing on it
being locked out of its
account.
The
Jamaican detainee's life
partner's filing, marked
Draft, says that "Petitioner
was whisked away and placed in
a holding tank." She is a
"citizen of Jamaica who turned
herself in at the border on or
about January 31, 2023 and was
released under 236 and 1226
authority."
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Jeannette A. Vargas on
November 10 ordered that she
not be removed from the US,
and set a November 13 hearing.
Inner City Press
went for the November 13
hearing, the only media in the
courtroom. Judge Vargas asked
if an evidentiary hearing will
be needed and was told, No, it
will turn on whether detention
is under Section 1225 (a) or
(b). A briefing schedule was
set. Inner City Press will
continue to report on the
case.
The case
is Mcdonald v. Francis, et
al., 1:25-cv-9355 (Vargas)
