...Defense:
He hired counsel in Brazil -
Judge: I don't want you to
address something new. What
about family members in the
apartment - are they residents
or citizens of the US?
Defense: One is his cousin
Myra. She's not a
citizen. Judge: She has
a green card? No
Defense: The
others in the apartment came
here with what's called
humanitarian parole.
Judge: So I
am releasing Mr. Sikeema on a
$1 million personal
recognizance bond, secured by
the property in Queens subject
to review by the government of
the equity, if it is in the
high 100s of 1000s of dollars.

Judge: He can be
released today on his own
signature
Pre Trial: We
can't put on the GPS bracelet.
