Man from Mexico Detained by ICE with Traumatic Brain Injury Ordered Free in SDNY

Man from Mexico Detained by ICE with Traumatic Brain Injury Ordered Free in SDNY by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 29 – A 39-year-old man from Mexico who has lived in the US for 20 years - and has a traumatic brain injury - has been detained by ICE in the Orange County Jail since late 2025. 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 May 29 SDNY Judge J. Paul Oetken held a hearing, which Inner City Press covered. Petitioner's lawyers referred to several other SDNY cases, most by their Westlaw citations for some reason.    The AUSA said there was no right to a pre-deprivation hearing. Judge Oetken disagreed and ordered release.   The case is C.A.R. v. Genalo, et al., 1:26-cv-4275 (Oetken) *** Your support means a lot.
