Two Law Firms File Habeas Petitions for Linzhong Huang One Hour Apart on Same Day

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 10 –     One man named Linzhong Huang was detained by ICE on April 10 in 26 Federal Plaza.

Two law firms filed habeas corpus petitions later than day in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found both.   

At 2:32 pm on April 10, the Law Office of Ng & Wasserman of 27 East Broadway filed a habeas petition, Linzhong Hwang v. Almodovar, et al., which got assigned to Judge Katherine Polk Failla.  

At 3:39 pm, the Law Office of Ling Li, PC of Main Street, [Flushing], Queens filed a habeas petition, Linzhong Huang v. Genalo, et al., which got assigned to Judge Vernon S. Broderick, who ordered "the Petitioner shall not be removed from US unless and until the Court orders otherwise."   

It seems this is the same man. Did both firms speak with Linzhong Huang? Did either? 

 The cases are Linzhong Hwang v. Almodovar, et al., 1:26-cv-2972 (Failla) and Linzhong Hwang v. Genalo, et al., 1:26-cv-2975 (Broderick)
