SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 32 รข€“ An 18-year-old from Ecuador who was detained by ICE 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 "after crosing the U.S. Mexico border in September 2023, he encounter immigration officials who subsequently released him on his own recognition."

 He says he followed all instructions but was detained at a check in on June 17 and remains detained in the Orange County Jail.

He has been adjudicated as a youthful offender of allegations of trespass "which arose out of an incident in which he was with a larger group but, upon realizing they were committing a crime, left without participating further."

The case is J.V.B. v. Genalo, et al., 1:26-cv-6573 (Unassigned)
