COURTHOUSE,
Dec 8 – A man from Mexico who
has lived in the US since 2012
was arrested by ICE in The
Bronx on December 4. He 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.
The
petition says Edward Cid Orea
is the father "to two US
citizen children and has
numerous US citizen and lawful
permanent resident relatives."
The petition goes on that "he
is gainfully employed and - to
the best knowledge of counsel,
given the exigent
circumstances of his detention
- does not have a criminal
history."
The rest of the
petition is similar to others
recently filed in SDNY.
Counsel here are Rhidaya
Trivedi and Ron Kuby of West
23rd Street, who recently
represented among others Brad
Lander.
The
requests include immediate
release and attorney's fees.
First, a hearing
was set for December 8. Then
docketed, on December 8, but
dated December 7: "
The case is Orea
v. Francis, et al.,
1:25-cv-10067 (JMFORDER
granting [1] Petition for Writ
of Habeas Corpus filed by
Edward Cid Orea: The Petition
for the writ of habeas corpus
is GRANTED. If counsel for
Petitioner notifies counsel
for Respondents by 6:00 p.m.
TODAY that Petitioner prefers
immediate release from his
current place of detention (in
Pennsylvania) over transfer
back to this District before
release, Respondents shall
release him and certify
compliance with this Order no
later than 8:00 p.m. TODAY. If
counsel for Petitioner
confirms that Petitioner
prefers transfer back to this
District before release (or
does not indicate a preference
one way or another by 6:00
p.m. today), Respondents shall
release Petitioner in this
District - and file
certification thereof - by
3:00 p.m. TOMORROW. The Clerk
of Court is directed to close
this case. The conference
scheduled for tomorrow is
canceled as moot.")
