Man from Paraguay Detained by ICE at JFK Tells His Partners He Is In Manhattan So Habeas

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 6 รข€“ A man from Paraguay who was detained by ICE just before boarding a flight at JFK Airport in Queens 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 "just before he was set to get on the plane, federal agents approached him... Petitioner's partner, who was with him, was not allowed to follow or to see where they took his loved one."

 Later, "presumable from the Hold Room at 26 Federal Plaza, Petitioner contacted his partner and told him that he was in Manhattan."

   Inner City Press found the petition soon after it was filed, before it has been assigned out.

The case is Muller Parra. v. Genalo, et al., 1:26-cv-6740 (Unassigned)
