COURTHOUSE,
Jan 14 – A woman from
Guatemala who has lived in the
US since 2004 was detained by
ICE on January 6. She has
since been deported - to
Ecuador, according to her
lawyer, in a letter found and
first reported by Inner City
Press.
Nancy
Maria Briseno-Castillo during
a scheduled check-in with ICE
was taken into custody. On
January 10 she filed a habeas
corpus petition in the US
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
where Inner City Press found
it.
The case
was assigned to Judge J. Paul
Oekten. But before he acted on
the request for a Temporary
Restraining Order against
removal, according to counsel,
"we
received a disturbing email
from the US Attorney's Office
stating that DHS had taken her
to El Paso over the weekend
and then flown her out of the
US on Monday to
Ecuador."
Counsel
has requested an emergency
hearing.
The case is
Briseno-Castillo v. Genalo, et
al., 1:25-cv-216
(Oekten)
