Man From Jamaica Who Entered US in 2022  Detained By ICE in Walgreens So Files Habeas

SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 6 – A man from Jamaica in ICE detention in the Orange County Correctional Facility 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 petition says he arrived in the US in December 2022 at Hidalgo, Texas, to seek asylum, and was paroled into the country for humanitarian reasons. Then on July 4 he was taken into custody from his place of employment, Walgreens at Elmerce, NY.

 The case was assigned to Judge Lewis J. Liman, who ordered the petitioner not to be moved from SDNY, EDNY or DNJ absent further order of the court.

The case is Simms v. Arteta, et al., 1:26-cv-5712 (Liman)
