COURTHOUSE,
Oct 7 – A gay Colombian dancer
arrested in the Penn Station
in Manhattan on September 15
and charged with lewd behavior
and "exposure of a person" is
now in ICE's Eloy, Arizona
Detention Center faced with
deportation.
His habeas
corpus petition has been
dismissed - without prejudice
- in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York, which Inner City
Press closely covers.
Faced with
an Order to Show Cause, the
government produced the
records of arrest of Juan M.
Bernal-Garcia. An Amtrak
record describes the
defendant's behavior in front
of a urinal in the Penn
Station bathroom, see
below.
Then a
Warrant for Arrest of Alien
was found. He was taken to 26
Federal Plaza, then to Delaney
Hall Detention Facility in
Newark, NJ then to the Port
Isabel Service Processing
Center in Los Fresnos, Texas.
From there, to the Florence
Service Processing Center in
Florence, Arizona. Finally, to
Eloy, where the immigration
case picked up.
Judge
Jennifer L. Rochon dismissed
without prejudice, finding
that he had not exhausted his
administrative remedied. So
far, nothing in the docket
since then - Inner City Press
is on the case: Bernal Garcia,
et al., v. Francis, et al.,
1:25-cv-7715 (Rochan)
