SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 23 – A man from Senegal who has been detained since being arrested in November charged with selling counterfeit goods on Canal Street and Broadway was brought on December 19 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Arun Suramanian. Inner City Press was there, and live tweeted, here:
Judge Sumramanian: Given that they were operating under a framework that this court and 100s of others have found to be legally erroneous, shouldn't Mr. Tall be released? Even if you just re-arrest him?
Judge Subramanian: It is important to get the law right. I need to take the weekend
He took until Tuesday evening: "ORDER: The Court orders petitioner's release within 24 hours. ... As petitioner's counsel conceded at the hearing, this order does not preclude the government from revoking petitioners parole, and arresting and detaining him in the future, as long as it follows the legally mandated procedures that would apply. (Signed by Judge Arun Subramanian on 12/23/2025)."
