Man from Ecuador From Who Entered US in 2013 Is Detained So Files Habeas Now WDPA Fight

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 12 รข€“A man from Ecuador who entered the US in 2013 has been detained by ICE, now in the Western District of Pennsylvania.

His next friend 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 case was assigned to Judge Ronnie Abrams.

The US Attorney's Office on June 12 filed that "venue is improper in SDNY."

Later on June 12 Judge Abrams docketed that "in spite of Respondents' argument that this cast should be transferred to WDPA," the only proof of Moshannon is from 90 minutes after the petition was filed. She directed that by Monday June 15 proof should be filed of Petitioner's location at the time the Petition was filed.


The case is Robles v. Francis, et al., 1:26-cv-4985 (Abrams)
