COURTHOUSE,
June 4–A man from Egypt in ICE
detention in 26 Federal Plaza
facing removal to Equatorial
Guinea filed a habeas corpus
petition in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York, where
Inner City Press found
it.
The
petition narrates that he was
previously ordered released in
the Eastern District of
Virginia but then "Respondents
determined that Mr. Elgendy
did not adequately express a
fear establishing that he
would more likely than not be
persecuted or tortured in
Equatorial Guinea."
The case
was assigned on June 4 to
Judge Margaret M. Garnett, who
ordered an answer by June 8 -
and that he not be removed
from SDNY, EDNY or DNJ
"pending consideration of the
Petition."
The case is
Elgendy v. Francis, et al.,
1:26-cv-4716 (Garnett)
