COURTHOUSE,
May 29 – A 39-year-old man
from Mexico who has lived in
the US for 20 years - and has
a traumatic brain injury - has
been detained by ICE in the
Orange County Jail since late
2025.
He filed a habeas
corpus petition in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
where Inner City Press found
it.
On May 29
SDNY Judge J. Paul Oetken held
a hearing, which Inner City
Press covered. Petitioner's
lawyers referred to several
other SDNY cases, most by
their Westlaw citations for
some reason.
The AUSA
said there was no right to a
pre-deprivation hearing. Judge
Oetken disagreed and ordered
release.
The case is
C.A.R. v. Genalo, et al.,
1:26-cv-4275 (Oetken)
