Songying C.: Man under supervision since 2023 detained by ICE at scheduled appointment

A man who was ordered removed after being re-detained at a scheduled immigration appointment, despite having been previously released, was ordered freed after a court found his re-detention without notice violated due process.

Dec 15, 2025California City, CA

A foreign national in removal proceedings was initially released by immigration authorities on October 4, 2023, and enrolled in alternatives to detention. He was re-detained by ICE on December 15, 2025, while attending a scheduled immigration appointment. After being ordered removed on June 8, 2026, he filed a habeas corpus petition challenging his re-detention. The court granted his petition, finding that his re-detention without notice and a pre-deprivation hearing violated due process, and ordered his immediate release on the conditions he was subject to prior to re-detention.
