Exclusive,
Dec 17 – A man who left the
Soviet Union 32 years ago and
entered the United States was
detained by ICE since December
16, 2025.
That next
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
called for filings on December
20 and instructed the parties
to keep December 29 open for a
hearing, if necessary.
He left
the Soviet Union as a child
and was not given a passport.
He did not register later as a
citizen of Uzbekistan. He is
stateless.
There are
two lines of cases in the
SDNY, it emerged, with Judges
Castel and Koeltl sending
petititioners back to exhaust
their administrative remedies
in the immigration court, and
Judge Failli (and Ho)
releasing petitioners.
