Woman Detained by ICE Feb 19 Filed SDNY Habeas But DOJ Says She Is In Louisiana

Woman Detained by ICE Feb 19 Filed SDNY Habeas But DOJ Says She Is In Louisiana by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 20 –A woman was detained by ICE in 26 Federal Plaza on February 19. She filed a habeas corpus petition in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 20, where Inner City Press found it.   The case was assigned to Judge Arun Sumramanian, who directed the US Attorney's Office to respond by 6 pm if there is any reason based on the Court's prior decisions that the petitioner should not be released."   But when the US Attorney's Office wrote it, it was to say that venue is improper, that the petitioner was "booked out of 26 Federal Plaza at 12:25 pm on Feburary 19, where was she was taken to Newark Liberty Airport and flown to Louisiana" - the Richwood Correctional Center in Monroe, Louisiania. Flying out the same day avoids SDNY venue. Or will it?  Inner City Press remains on the case(s). This case is Fernandez Tardillo v. Genalo, et al., 1:26-cv-1439 (Subramanian) *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page.
