COURTHOUSE,
July 28 –A defendant charged
with selling kilo-weight
quantities of heroin mixed
with fentanyl was the subject
of a bail fight on July 28 in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Magistrates Court. Inner
City Press was the only media
there, and live tweeted:
AUSA: He
has ties to the Dominican
Republic. He says he was a
home health aide, but says he
doesn't know if he can
continue after the arrest. We
don't think he'd be eligible
for safety-valve relief, so
ten year mandatory minimum.
Federal Defender:
He has been in the community
for the past 36 years. And the
Government is offering release
for the co-defendant. AUSA:
This defendant was the
supervisor, so he's
differently situated.
Judge: I'm going to release
him on $75,000 unsecured bond
Judge: Two
co-signers, GPS monitor. No
contact with co-defendant
outside the presence of
counsel. Detained until the
co-signers sign
The case is USA
v. Mena, et al., 1:26-mj-3014
