Alexander M.D.: Immigrant re-detained by ICE at routine check-in without explanation

An immigrant who entered the country in November 2023 was briefly held, released, then re-detained during a routine check-in with no explanation. A court ordered his immediate release and barred re-detention without a hearing.

An immigrant who entered the United States without inspection on November 17, 2023, was initially detained and released two days later. On June 20, 2026, he was re-detained by ICE during a routine check-in appointment without explanation. The federal court granted his habeas petition, finding that his prior release created a liberty interest in continued release and that re-detention without a pre-deprivation hearing violated due process. The court ordered his immediate release and enjoined ICE from re-detaining him without notice and a hearing before an immigration judge.
