Windsurfer in 1984 LA Olympics from San Marino Detained by ICE Wants Bracelet Off

Windsurfer in 1984 LA Olympics from San Marino Detained by ICE Wants Bracelet Off by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 21 – A 70-year-old windsurfer from San Marino has been detained by ICE. 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.   The petition says he represented San Marino at the LA Olympics in 1984 and has visited the US 80 to 90 times since. In December 2025 he was detained for remaining past the period permitted under the Visa Waiver Program. They shipped him south to Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas.    His request is for the removal of his ankle monitor and replace it with SMARTlink on his phone, and to remove a 75-mile geographic limitation. He says the ankle monitor was removed by a Nicole at 7 Elk Street on August 3 - then he was charged for it, and the monitor reimposed. He wants it off. The case is Pelliccione v. Joyce, et al., 1:26-cv-7127 (Torres) *** 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.
