SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 28 รข€“ A man from El Salvador who was convicted of third-degree assault after hitting his son three times with a belt was been detained by ICE in the Orange County Jail.

On August 28 he filed a habeas corpus petition in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found it. 

 On NYS WebCrims, it is noted he pled guilty to Assault 3 with intent to cause physical injury, with having a retained attorney with an office in Hauppauge.

His habeas petition was wheeled out to Judge Ronnie Abrams, who asked the Government to respond by September 2.

   Also in 40 Foley Square, Judge Broderick has a habeas proceeding filed by a man from El Salvador - more on X for Subscribers here and Substack here

Judge Abrams' case is Reyes Benitez v. Arteta, et al., 1:26-cv-7362 (Abrams)
