Woman from The Gambia Detained by ICE Facing Removal to Ghana Gets Release and Fees by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 29 – A woman from The Gambia was detained by ICE and told she will be removed to Ghana. She filed a habeas corpus petition in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found it.   The petition says that in 2013 an immigration judge granted her statutory withholding of removal to The Gambia. But at a check-in on September 23 she was detained.   Judge Dale E. Ho to whom the case was assigned set an October hearing.   At 8 pm on September 28 the US Attorney's Office wrote in "to submit this letter of non-opposition to Petitioner's request for immediate release." On September 29 Judge Ho granted the petition and attorney's fees, saying to same the amount as provided by the local rules. This case is Wally v. Genalo, et al., 1:26-cv-8303 (Ho)    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 *** Your support means a lot.
