COURTHOUSE,
Jan 13 – A man from China who
was detained by ICE on January
13 in 26 Federal Plaza filed a
habeas corpus petition the
same day in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York, where
Inner City Press found it.
He entered
the US on December 10, 2023 at
or near Tecate, California. At
his scheduled check-in at 26
Federal Plaza on January 13,
he was detained and placed in
removal proceedings.
The
petition by East Broadway
based counsel says that in the
interim, he lived at 247-16
89th Avenue, Jamaica, New York
and "is employed at a
restaurant in New York and
attends Church of Grace to
Fujianese NJ."
The
petition is nearly identical
to several Inner City Press
has previously covered: also
entry via Tacate, California a
few days after, also attending
a Grace Church. We aim to have
more on this.
Both ask
for an order "that petitioner
shall not be transferred
outside the New York [sic]
while this habeas petition is
pending."
This case is Chen
v. Almodovar, et al.,
1:26-cv-291 (Daniels)
Previous
near-identical habeas is Liang v.
Almodovar, 1:25-cv-9322 and Huang v.
Almodovar, 1:25-cv-9346
