SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 5 – A woman from Guatemala who as a member with the Union Cambio Nacional party was targeted and fled to the US in 2024 was detained by ICE in 26 Federal Plaza on December 5. She filed a habeas corpus petition the same day in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found it.
The petition says Lesbia Maribel Perz Agustin's husband was killed and her house was shot up and had tear gas thrown in. It says that the explanation given to her upon her detained was "new laws."
The requests include immediate release and attorney's fees.
The case is Agustin v. Joyce, et al., 1:25-cv-10122 (Unassigned)
