Exclusive,
Nov 23 – A man from China who
entered the United States on
November 9, 2024 though
Tecate, California and was
released has been detained by
ICE since November 17, 2025.
That same
day 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.
The case
was assigned to SDNY Judge
Jennifer H. Rearden, who set a
November 25 hearing and a
briefing schedule before
that.
The US
Attorney's Office filed eight
exhibits, back to the Tecate,
California entry. On Sunday,
November 23 the petitioner,
represented by a lawyer on
Chinatown's Mott Street,
replied that since detention
is under 8 USC 1226(a) and not
8 USC 1225(b)(2), the
petitioner should be
released.
The case is
Weng v. Genalo, et al.,
1:25-cv-9595 (Rearden)
