COURTHOUSE,
Nov 6 – A blind man from
Ecuador who entered the US
through Texas and was released
upon request under the Biden
Administration in January 2023
was detained in 26 Federal
Plaza on November 4.
His sister filed
a habeas corpus petition on
his behalf.
It will be heard
on November 7 in U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York, which
Inner City Press closely
covers.
His filing
cites a decision by SDNY Judge
George B. Daniels in Valdez v.
Joyce, 25-cv-4627, 2025 WL
1707737 (June 18, 2005) that
detentions such as his are
"clear violation[s] of due
process rights."
On November 6 the
US Attorney's Office wrote in
that the petitioner is being
held in 26 Federal Plaze
pending arrangements for his
transfer to the Orange County
Jail in Goshen, NY (the only
ICE detention facility within
the SDNY).
The case is
Chalco-Beltran v. Francis, et
al., 1:25-cv-9205 (Carter)
