Denying Gang

COURTHOUSE,
Feb 24 –A man from El Salvador
was held by ICE in 26 Federal
Plaza as of 8:21 am on
February 24.
He filed a habeas
corpus petition in the US
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
later on February 24, where
Inner City Press found
it.
The case
was assigned to Judge Mary
Kaye Vyskocil. The petition
says he is "being processed
for removal to an out of state
ICA location, presumably
Louisiana." It adds that his
girlfriend and the mother of
his child told police he'd
said he was a member of a
gang."
He denies being a
member of a gang, "admitting
only that he knew members of a
gang and had given them a ride
(under threats to his live)
while still previously in El
Salvador."
On the
previous working day in SDNY,
February 20, when the US
Attorney's Office wrote in, it
was to say that venue is
improper, that the petitioner
was "booked out of 26 Federal
Plaza at 12:25 pm on February
19, where was she was taken to
Newark Liberty Airport and
flown to Louisiana" - the
Richwood Correctional Center
in Monroe, Louisiania.
Flying out the
same day avoids SDNY venue. Or
will it? And here?
Inner City
Press remains on the case(s).
The February 20
case is Fernandez
Tardillo v. Genalo, et al.,
1:26-cv-1439 (Subramanian)
The February 24
case is Hernandez Guillen v.
Genalo, et al., 1:26-cv-1524
(Vyskocil)
