Exclusive,
Jan 1 – A woman from China who
entered the United States in
2006 was detained by ICE on
December 30 "while she was
getting her biometrics taken
at a DHS facility in New
York."
The next
day, at 6:20 pm on New Years
Eve, she 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
petitioner is 50 years old and
"on information and belief has
no criminal history," the
petition says.
Later on
New Years Eve the case was
assigned to Judge Arun
Subramanian, who at 11 pm
ordered: "ORDER: The Court is
in receipt of petitioners
petition for habeas corpus,
which asks the Court for an
order that petitioner not be
removed from the Southern
District of New York. Dkt. 1.
That specific relief is
GRANTED as follows:
Respondents are enjoined from
transferring petitioner to any
location outside the Southern
District of New York, the
Eastern District of New York,
or the District of New Jersey
absent this Courts prior
approval.The Clerk of Court is
respectfully directed to send
this order" to DOJ.
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 Failla (and Ho)
releasing petitioners.
