COURTHOUSE,
Feb 20 –A man from Mexico
detained by ICE since being
arrested as "illegal alien
possession explosives" - he
worked a fireworks warehouse -
is on the cusp of either being
ordered release, or getting a
new hearing before an
immigration judge with the
burden on the Government.
Duque Mendoza, in
detention at the Orange County
Correctional Facility, was
supposed to be brought on
Friday afternoon before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman.
Inner City
Press was there - but Duque
Mendoza was not.
The
Assistant US Attorney blamed
it on miscommunication between
ICE and their transportation
contractor [see link to Extra
below]
Judge Liman inquired into the
hearing Duque was given, and
said he will either order
another one, with the
petitioner having subpoena
power and the Immigration
Judge not following his own
Article II system's
precedents, but rather Article
III precedents - or will
outright order him released.
