Anselmo M.M.: Man on bond since 2019 detained at ICE check-in

Anselmo Martin Matias was detained during a routine check-in after ICE wrongly described a reckless driving plea as a DUI. A federal court ordered his immediate release, citing due process violations.

Feb 24, 2026

Anselmo Martin Matias, who had been released on $16,000 bond in 2019 during withholding proceedings, was detained by ICE on February 24, 2026, during his routine check-in. ICE told him he was being detained for "breaking the rules" due to his March 2025 guilty plea to reckless driving, which they incorrectly described as driving under the influence. The federal court ordered his immediate release, finding that due process requires a hearing before a neutral arbitrator when someone is re-detained based on alleged supervision violations.
