Balwinder S.: Truck driver arrested at work by ICE after four years of compliance

A commercial truck driver who had complied with his release conditions for four years while working lawfully was re-detained at his job in June without notice or a hearing. A judge ordered his immediate release.

Jun 1, 2026

A commercial truck driver who entered the United States on April 29, 2022, was initially taken into custody by DHS and subsequently released on his own recognizance pending removal proceedings. For approximately four years, he complied with all release conditions while working lawfully as a commercial truck driver. On June 1, 2026, ICE officers re-detained him while he was at work without providing pre-deprivation notice or a hearing. The court granted his petition for habeas corpus, finding that respondents violated Fifth Amendment due process protections and ordered his immediate release with constitutional safeguards for any future detention.
